Editor's Note: I had
a rare case of poison ivy on my hand this spring (from excessive
weeding, no doubt!) I used my usual remedy - jewelweed crushed and
rubbed on the area - but it didn't do the job it usually does. So
I tried lemon balm hydrosol spritzed on the infected area and it
dried up the pustules in a day or two!

According to Suzanne Catty,
author of Hydrosols, the Next Aromatherapy, "Melissa is
calming to the body more than the mind but without being overly
sedative. Use it for stress, anxiety and childhood hysterics (ed.
"Many women buy it for their husbands!").

Seven brave people dipped their hands into fresh stinging nettle at the Sustainable Fair in Elkins on April 16th, then sprayed lemon balm hydrosol on their hands - and the sting left! I was stung by a wasp (I am allergic to bee stings) and sprayed the hydrosol on my hands in both places and the sting left in about two minutes with no swelling or redness.
Melissa is gentle enough for use on babies; try
adding a
teaspoon to a night time bath.
My granddaughter, Aijah, age 5, backed
into a bunch of stinging nettle - the little red angry spots immediately
broke out all over the back of both legs and she screamed in agony.
My apprentice, Rebekah, ran and got the lemon balm hydrosol and sprayed
on her. In two minutes, all the stinging marks were gone and Aijah had
no pain. ps Rebekah ran for the lavender hydrosol to calm Aijah,
but grabbed the lemon balm hydrosol by mistake - and it worked!
AT the Dowser's Conference in Vermont, a participant in my workshop asked for help with a rash under her breasts that was driving her crazy. I gave her the rest of the lemon balm hydrosol I had and next day she thanked me, saying it was all gone and she was so relieved.
In addition, Kaycee Lamb's son, Ryan, had a rash all over both arms which was very irritating and making him very irritable - exhausting all over the counter preparations which did not help, Kaycee sprayed Ryan's rash and it disappeared within a day - with no itch in sight!
