Lemon Myrtle has a long tradition as an herbal solution. Lemon Myrtle is first and foremost cleansing, but it also promotes feelings of positivity and calm.
Description
Native to Australia, lemon myrtle has long been used by Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander people as part of their diet. Lemon Myrtle essential oil is distilled from the citrus scented leaves of the subtropical lemon myrtle plant. Lemon Myrtle essential oil has a calming and relaxing aroma. Lemon Myrtle trees are medium sized with dark-green, lance-shaped leaves, which remain on the tree year-round. From summer to autumn, creamy white flowers grow in clusters on the end of the branches.
