Description  more details

Organic Lemon Myrtle gets its fantastic lemon flavour and aroma from the citral component that exists in the plant, and therefore in the oil.  Of all the ‘lemony’ oils out there (lemon, lemongrass, lemon verbena, and lemon-scented tea tree) lemon myrtle has the highest concentration of this constituent.

If you’d like to use Organic Lemon Myrtle Essential Oil on your skin, use at no stronger than 0.7% of the formula and give this solution a quick test on a patch of skin to be sure there's no reaction.

Around the house it's great as a mould remover, cleaner and laundry refresher.  Put a few drops in your mop bucket for a freshly scented home.

Another popular use for Organic Lemon Myrtle Essential Oil is as a food or drink flavouring.  Always be sure to mix it with ingredients that it will blend with – for example, oil-based or fat-based ingredients or alcohol. As with any oil it will not mix with water (or water-based food/drink) on its own so putting a couple of drops into your drinking water is not recommended.

Try 2 – 4 drops of Organic Lemon Myrtle Essential Oil in 1kg of your favourite plain yoghurt, or create a salad dressing or flavoured cooking oil by adding 2-6 drops into your preferred cooking oil like olive oil or sunflower.
