Melissa
doTERRA Melissa is a botanical product, listed as 'Melissa' at 60 mg per drop. While Melissa (Lemon Balm) is an herb commonly used for its calming properties, the specific extract type or standardization is not provided, and the 60 mg per drop dosage is a relatively small amount for a botanical extract, making it difficult to compare to doses used in clinical research. The product has an N+ Score of 45 and an F grade, placing it in the below-average tier. This score is influenced by the limited information on the botanical's form and the general lack of transparency regarding its concentration relative to research-backed dosages. It may be suitable for individuals seeking a very mild application of Melissa.
