Personal Experience, Research, Possible Actions
It is a wonderful oil to add to a diffuser, bath or body lotion.
Another excellent use of Myrtle is for soothing a sore throat. Blend with Sandalwood and Jojoba oil and apply to the throat. 5 drops Myrtle and 5 drops Sandalwood in 1 oz jojoba makes for a wonderful sore throat remedy.
We also use it to sooth the digestion and reduce gas, cramps and an upset stomach.
