Organic Myrtle Oil

Organic Myrtle Oil

Organic Myrtle Oil, which smells slightly like eucalyptus, is obtained by steam distillation of the leaves and twigs. Myrtle, an evergreen shrub with white flowers, grows in the Mediterranean region and was attributed to the goddess of love Aphrodite in ancient Greece. This also gave rise to the custom of weaving a myrtle wreath into the hair of brides.

Natural medicine practitioners mainly use Organic Myrtle Oil during the cold season. It is said to have an expectorant effect, helping relieve runny nose, bronchitis, and cough, and clearing the airways. Additionally, Organic Myrtle Oil is believed to decongest and tighten veins and improve circulation disorders.

The cosmetic industry relies on these tightening properties. In body and massage oils or bath oils, it serves anti-cellulite care. In facial care, Organic Myrtle Oil can treat small wrinkles. Especially its antibacterial and soothing effect is beneficial in treating inflamed, oily, impure, and acne-prone skin. For example, combined with lavender oil, you can create great facial tonics or masks. Inflamed gums can be soothed in oral hygiene products. As a room or laundry scent, Organic Myrtle Oil helps improve air quality and can mask unpleasant odors.

For centuries, myrtle has been used to flavor dishes in the Mediterranean. In the food industry, Organic Myrtle Oil is mainly used to flavor liqueurs.

In aromatherapy, Organic Myrtle Oil can help alleviate sleep disorders and aid meditation to find inner peace and a clear mind.
