Melissa Essential Oil (Origanum majorana)

revitalizing, yet soothing and calming. The plant is very gentle and delicate,
and the oil helps to bring out those characteristics in an individual. It was an
important ingredient in Carmelite water (distilled in France since 1611 by
members of the Carmelite Order) and used to support the nervous system. *

Oral and Genital Herpes "No one really wants to talk about this subject, but Melissa oil is the one.
Yes, it burns like a #$*! but it works. Both oral and genital. Use a q tip with
very little cotton on it so you can direct the oil. For the first three days,
put it on 2-3 times a day. Then down to once a day or so. After a couple of
outbreaks of doing this, you will be very happy to have no more problems. If you
can't afford Melissa, Thieves oil is the next best oil. Have a carrier oil
around in case of burning.
My daughter has had horrible outbreaks of oral herpes for years- outbreaks that
would cover her entire lip. I had actually contacted the virus from kissing her
years ago when she had an outbreak. My first experience with a 'cold sore' was
awful. I immediately remembered about the Melissa oil. I started using it and
it would cut the sore time down. When I started to feel an outbreak I would put
Melissa on right away. It burns, but for the right reasons. I could actually
feel the virus moving around on my lip trying to find a place to pop out. I
carried Melissa oil with and put it on probably too much in the beginning
because it would burn the skin around my mouth. Eventually I discovered that
putting it on three times a day is sufficient. As soon as a scab appeared or the
sore hardened I stopped using the oil.
I have not had an outbreak in over a year and I used to have outbreaks at least
twice a year. My daughter has very few outbreaks now (she has been using melissa
for a year) and I soon know she won't have any, as I do.
Since Melissa worked so well on oral herpes, I asked a friend ( whose name
obviously does not choose to be used) who had genital herpes to experiment with
melissa to see what happened. She has not had an outbreak in over a year and she
reported that she would get them every three months."
Wart gone
"I had a wart between my 3rd & 4th toes for years. It would get big and I'd have
to shave it off with a razor blade because it would become very painful. I tried
using Thieves Oil, because I had read that many had luck getting rid of warts
with it, but after 2 months of using Thieves, it still was there. I heard Dr.
Young say once that melissa was good for viruses, and since warts are viruses I
thought I'd try melissa. After 2 days of applying melissa (morning and night)
the wart was totally gone."
