The name Bee Balm
comes from the fact that bees are highly attracted to the nectar-rich flowers that bloom in the summertime and is often used by beekeepers as a 'honey plant'. The beautiful citrus-floral-mint fragrance of Bee Balm Essential Oil is reminiscent of the Bergamot Orange (Citrus bergamia) - hence the name Wild Bergamot, although there is no relation to the citrus fruit - the essential oil actually shares many similarities with Palmarosa or Geranium in terms of it therapeutic constituents - featuring an exceptionally high Geraniol content.
The anti-microbial, antiseptic, astringent, antioxidant, and tonic properties of Monarda Oil make it a beneficial additive in skincare products that are meant to soothe or even treat dry or oily skin, eczema and inflammation. Its balancing property stabilizes the production of natural oil and sebum to prevent acne breakouts. Effective for all skin types, this rejuvenating oil can be added to soaps, face washes, face masks, toners, and creams to achieve firm yet hydrated skin that appears to have a healthy glow that is free of unwanted marks. In haircare products, Bee Balm Essential Oil's tonic properties stimulate hair follicles to lengthen and strengthen hair while slowing the graying of hair, preventing hair loss, and moisturizing dry scalp to relieve dandruff.
Used in aromatherapy, the sweet, fresh, lemony-citrus aroma of Monarda Fistulosa Oil can promote relaxation and induce feelings of clarity and calmness. Bee Balm Essential Oil is reputed to have anti-depressant properties that not only address negative feelings, including nervousness, shock, and fatigue, it also promotes positive feelings of cheerfulness and optimism, thus uplifting the mood. Its aphrodisiac quality is reputed to boost the libido to enhance sensuality in both men and women.
