Benefits & How To Use
Monarda Monarda fistulosa (2150 – 3ml) (also known as Bee Balm, Wild Bergamo)
Monarda (also known as Bee Balm and, curiously, Wild Bergamot) is a Lamiaceae which grows wild in much of North America where it is also used as an ornamental garden plant.
The essential oil is notable for having 89% geraniol with the next most abundant element being linalool (1.7%). This is similar to Palmarosa.
It can be useful for inhalation in the winter season, and also to maintain healthy skin. The fragrance is unsurprisingly related to Thyme geraniol, but the oil is less costly.
This is a pure therapeutic-quality aromatherapy essential oil from France, and is obtained from the whole plant.
