BACKGROUND
Commonly known as the “queen of lemon herbs”, Lemon Myrtle essential oil comes from a plant in the myrtle family rather than a citrus fruit. Native to Australia, it is also known as sweet verbena tree or sweet verbena myrtle.
Lemon myrtle has historically been used as a healing plant to provide antiseptic and antimicrobial properties. It has also been used in perfumery for its strong, sweet scent and in aromatherapy for its ability to support positivity and follow through with goals.
Lemon myrtle can be a great tool for emotional health, as it stimulates the central nervous system to help support clarity and focus.
