Myrtus communis L.
Certified Organic
1 ounces (30 ml)
.5 ounce (15 ml)
Our very fine certified organic Green Myrtle from Corsica displays a fresh, diffusive, strong, camphoraceous/spicy, and sweet/herbaceous aroma with an almost floral-sweet drydown that falls in the category of top to middle notes. The essential oil is distilled from the leaves and sometimes the twigs and flowers of Myrtus communis, a bush or small tree that grows wild in the areas surrounding the Mediterranean Sea and found abundantly on the island of Cyprus. Sacred to the gods, employed in worship, and appearing in prophesies, Myrtle is renowned in many cultures and across time for its scent and beauty. Two chemical constituents dominate in this essential oil – 1,8-cineole and α-pinene, suggesting actions that are highly beneficial for supporting the respiratory system. Green Myrtle also has a more significant percentage of myrtenyl acetate and linalool, compared to Red Myrtle’s higher percentage of 1,8-cineole, making it a particularly versatile oil and especially beneficial for the lungs. Green Myrtle is excellent in skincare formulations and imparts an elegant scent. And this ‘plant of mystery’ may also be beneficial for people with self-destructive behavior or addiction issues.
