Essential oil of Myrtle

Myrtle’s benefits come from its leaves, which concentrate a valuable essential oil.  They can be used to prepare the richest of curative infusions.

Its oil is yellow-green in color and smells very pleasant.  It is comprised primarily of pinene, eucalyptol, dipentene, myrtle and myrtenol.

This plant’s essence is a powerful antiseptic, prevents infections and is capable of effectively eliminating germs.

That’s why it is known as an excellent expectorant, skin purifier, inflammation-reducer and wound healer.

How to take myrtle

If you want to overcome a lung condition, make an infusion.  Place approximately 30 grams of myrtle leaves in one liter of boiling water; then strain and sweeten.  For good results, you should drink at least 3 cups a day after meals.  This herbal tea should be drank as warm as possible.

If you have lesions in your throat, or pain and irritation, it’s best to gargle.  Place one small handful of leaves in one liter of boiling water.  Let boil for 15 minutes and then strain.  Gargle three times a day.
