Myrtle
essential oil comes from a large, very fragrant bush native to North Africa. The green myrtle oil we offer is considered superior for aromatherapy, as it has the most pleasant aroma of the Myrtle varieties. The leaves and berries
have been used for 'drying and binding, good for diarrhoea and dysentery, spitting of blood and catarrhous
defluctions upon the breast' (Culpepper, Complete Herbal). Dioscorides prescribed it for lung and
bladder infections in the form of an extract made by macerating the leaves in wine. The leaves and flowers
were a major ingredient of 'angel's water', a 16th century skin care lotion.
