Lemon Myrtle Essential Oil

Lemon Myrtle Essential Oil
Backhousia citriodora | Leaves | Steam Distilled | Origin: Australia

Lemon Myrtle Essential Oil is one of Australia’s most treasured native botanicals, often described as “more lemony than lemon” due to its exceptionally high citral content. With a crisp, clean, and intensely fresh aroma, it is both invigorating and clarifying, uplifting the mind while powerfully purifying the body and environment.

Renowned for its antimicrobial and antifungal qualities, Lemon Myrtle is considered one of the strongest natural germicides among essential oils. This makes it an excellent choice for natural cleaning solutions, diffusers to freshen and protect the air, or skincare blends where clarity and purity are desired. Beyond physical benefits, Lemon Myrtle is also valued in aromatherapy for its ability to clear mental fog, ease emotional heaviness, and restore a sense of vibrancy and lightness.

Historically, Lemon Myrtle has been used in traditional medicine by Indigenous Australians for its cleansing and healing qualities. Today, it continues to be a versatile oil, widely used in soaps, body care, diffusers, and household products, standing out as a powerful and uplifting everyday essential.
