Honey Myrtle Essential Oil

Honey Myrtle Essential Oil has joyful citrus notes and spicy depths. The slight undertone of warm honey adds a soft finish to its strong aroma. Think of the soothing aroma of a hot, honey-infused lemon drink or sunshine mixed with fresh air – and you have Honey Myrtle, a native tree grown in Western Australia. Honey Myrtle is a resilient plant that is adorned with delicate white flowers during late spring and summer. The oil, which is steam-distilled from the soft flowers and branches, boasts antimicrobial, antiviral, sedative, anti-fungal, and anti-inflammatory properties. Being rich in citral (typically 70 – 85%) this essential oil has a sweet lemon fragrance that is calming and uplifting when inhaled. It presents a pleasant and surprising complexity not usually associated with the more traditional lemon-scented essential oils. As such, this beautiful oil can be used to help quieten the mind, enhance concentration and bring about a sense of peacefulness. It also makes a great deodoriser and can be used in an oil burner or vaporiser, added to body care products and used in cleaning products.
