Myrtle and Its Uses

Myrtus Communis

Myrtle essential oil is a fantastic addition to your health routine.  Historically the plant has been associated with the Greek goddess Aphrodite and the leaves were used to honor soliders, similar to use of bay leaves (see Bay Laurel Post).  The plant's flowers, leaves, and stems are used to create essential oil through steam distillation.  The properties of myrtle essential oil are as an antiseptic, astringent, deoderant, sedative, and even an aphrodisiac.  The oil can be blended with others to create a wonderful vapor treatment for colds and respiratory issues.

MI regularly stocks this oil and is excited to share this oil with you.  The herbs are grown and distilled in the Tirana county in central Albania.  We hope that this information encourages you to try this oil and experiment with its uses.
