In Episode 3 of A Better Way to Thrive that aired April 6, 2019, Amber N. asks:

Why is the EO Melissa so expensive? Lemon Balm is the same thing as Melissa right? It grows like crazy at my house where I have planted it. It spreads like mint. I just wonder why the oil from a plant that is so prolific would be so expensive.

This is a very thoughtful question and one I wondered about for years, too. Watch below to learn about three factors that go into essential oil pricing.
