- There are several ways to effectively use Lemon Myrtle essential oil and obtain its benefits, including 1.) Add 10 drops to your essential oil diffuser per 100 ml of water. 2.) Add 10 drops to an Essential Oil Inhaler and take it with you for on-the-go therapeutic use. 3.)

Spray onto surfaces and in the air to refresh your space.
- Lemon Myrtle is lemony, sweet, tart, and fresh. Add few drops of Lemon Myrtle to your essential oil diffuser and let the fresh and tart aroma fill the room. Its bright and fresh aroma blends exceptionally well with Lime and other citrus oils such as Mandarin, Tangerine, Orange, Lemon, Grapefruit, Yuzu and Clementine. For a fresh and uplifting blend idea, add 5 drops Lemon Myrtle and 5 drops Pine to your diffuser. Lemon Myrtle can also be experienced in Bliss essential oil blend – an uplifting and inspiring blend of pure joy.
- Essential oils are powerful, concentrated substances so a little goes a long way. Two of the most effective ways to use them is by way of inhalation and topical use. Ingesting Lemon Myrtle essential oil is rarely necessary or recommended, no matter the brand. Ingestion can lead to adverse reactions such as medication contraindications, mucous membrane irritation, sensitization and nausea if done incorrectly. Therefore, if you wish to take essential oils internally, we strongly recommend consulting with a knowledgeable professional with experience in internal use.
- Certain essential oils contain natural components known as furanocoumarins. This is more common in citrus essential oils but does occur in other oils as well such as Angelica Root. Furanocoumarins cause essential oils to be phototoxic, meaning the oil can cause burns and skin irritation if sun and UV light exposure occur. Not all citrus-sounding essential oils are phototoxic, however, including Lemon Myrtle. Therefore, this oil can safely be worn in the sun so long as it’s properly diluted.
- Lemon Myrtle essential oil (Backhousia citriodora) offers several healing benefits that make it a worthy addition to your aromatherapy arsenal. In your space, Lemon Myrtle acts as a disinfectant, an anti-fungal agent and deodorizer. Applied topically, it assists with pain and skincare. Diffused, Lemon Myrtle offers respiratory support, sleep, anxiety relief and cold symptom support. To enjoy its benefits effectively, diffuse Lemon Myrtle or dilute it and apply it topically.
