Myrtle Essential Oil

Myrtle essential oil is rich in eucalyptol, α-pinene and other active constituents. It is valued for its ability to relieve respiratory discomfort, promote expectoration, and help alleviate infections of the reproductive system. In aromatherapy, the two most commonly used varieties are red myrtle oil and green myrtle oil. Red myrtle features a softer, more soothing aroma and is often used to support relaxation and restful sleep, while green myrtle has a brighter, more uplifting scent that helps dispel emotional heaviness and elevate the spirit.
