Benefits & How To Use

Lemon Myrtle Organic Backhousia citriodora (2182)

Lemon Myrtle has a very high concentration of citrals, which can be irritating on the skin so dilute well if they are being used in this way and avoid getting them on the mucus membranes. Having said that, this is another strongly protective oil and also dissolves ‘crystallisation’, both memories and their physical attributes. Use it for inhalation. This is a calming and sedative oil.

This is a pure therapeutic-quality certified organic aromatherapy essential oil from Australia, and is obtained from the leaves of the tree.

FAQs

What is Lemon Myrtle Organic Essential Oil, and what does it smell like?
Lemon Myrtle Organic Essential Oil is Backhousia citriodora, from the Myrtaceae family. It has a green fragrance note and a very high concentration of citrals, including geranial, neral and trans-isocitral. The aroma is often used when a fresh, lemony character is wanted.
Where does this oil come from?
It comes from Australia and is made from the leaves of the tree. It is certified organic. The botanical name is Backhousia citriodora.
How is Lemon Myrtle usually used?
It is commonly used for inhalation. The oil is described as calming and sedative, so it is often chosen when a softer, more settling aroma is preferred. It also has a strong protective character.
Is it safe to use on the skin or during pregnancy?
It is non toxic and non irritant, but it may sensitise some individuals. Because it contains a very high level of citrals, it can irritate the skin, so it should be well diluted and kept away from the mucous membranes. It is unsuitable during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
How long does it keep once opened?
Unopened, it has a shelf life of 36 months. After opening, it is best used within 12 months. Keeping the lid tightly closed and storing it well helps preserve the oil.

I find Oshadhi oils to be simply exquisite. Their fragrances are so rich and full bodied. It is easy to immediately discern the difference their insistence on extraction by slow distillation makes.
