Lemon balm has a fresh, sweet, honey-like fragrance. Its leaves are broad, without fuzz, and fairly clear and straight. Its scent is open and full of youthful vitality. It grows quickly, and unlike mint, it does not casually invade other plants' territory. It is confident and self-loving, self-reliant and independent, knows itself clearly, is good at expressing itself, and does not steal others' spotlight. So how do you identify lemon balm essential oil? And how do you use lemon balm?

You can use the following methods to test and identify lemon balm essential oil


Specifications: Internationally, the standard specification for single essential oils is 10ml, because single essential oils are highly concentrated plant extracts, and each use is measured in drops, such as lavender, lemon, and bergamot. Of course, there are also small-region, specially limited-edition, and particularly expensive essential oils sold in 5ml or 2ml, such as rose and lemon balm. Those of 20ml and above are relatively rare.

Bottling: Essential oils must be bottled in dark glass bottles to ensure their quality, because light, high heat, and moisture will destroy the components of the essential oil. At present, pure essential oils are mostly bottled in dark green, dark blue, dark brown, and amber glass bottles. Among them, dark green and dark blue glass bottles are more expensive, because their preservation period for essential oils is longer than that of dark brown and amber bottles.

In addition, pure essential oil bottles must also be equipped with a safety cap and a dropper, because pure essential oils are used in "drops" rather than milliliters.
