Melissa is a medicinal plant that can help fight depression due to its relaxing and sedative properties that are able to calm moments of anxiety and nervous tension, avoiding depressive feelings.
In addition, the Melissa officinalis plant also has strong mood-shaping properties, which are able to prevent the development of feelings of anguish and sadness, facilitating the emergence of feelings of happiness, well-being and hope.
However, Melissa's anti-depressant action is best used when it is used as a dye, as it is more concentrated.
