Description
Myrtus communis
Myrtle Essential Oil is steam distilled from the leaves and twigs of the myrtle plant. It possesses a fresh, clean, herbaceous aroma with sweet, slightly camphoraceous undertones similar to eucalyptus but gentler. Just a drop or two of Myrtle Essential Oil can add clarifying, purifying properties to any blend while providing respiratory and skin support with a softer touch than many other respiratory oils.
Myrtle Essential Oil can be useful in diffuser and inhaler blends intended to help ease respiratory congestion, coughs, colds, and sinusitis. It is valued for its gentle yet effective antimicrobial and astringent properties and is often used in diluted topical applications to support oily and blemished skin, minor infections, and respiratory discomfort. Myrtle is particularly suitable for children and sensitive individuals when properly diluted.
Emotionally, Myrtle Essential Oil is calming and balancing, helping to ease anger, frustration, and irritability, while promoting feelings of inner peace, clarity, and emotional harmony during times of conflict or agitation.
