Lemon Myrtle Therapeutic Grade™ Essential Oil

Lemon Myrtle Essential OilLemon Myrtle Essential Oil (Backhousia citriodora) when taken internally, boosts the body's natural defenses* and can also be used as a cleansing agent to purify household surfaces. Aromatically, lemon myrtle has a powerful lemon scent, even stronger than lemon essential oil. The fresh aroma is uplifting and refreshing, which may help clear the mind to enhance concentration or promote a peaceful night's sleep.

Lemon myrtle was given the botanical name Backhousia citriodora in 1853 after the English botanist, James Backhouse.

Lemon Myrtle comes from the subtropical rainforests of central and sourtheastern Queensland, Australia, where its been used in cuisine and as a healing plant. Lemon Myrtle is potent against microbes which makes it a wonderful choice for natural cleaning in the home and/or office and can also be helpful against influenza, bronchitis and herpes simplex.

Use of lemon myrtle oil as a treatment for skin lesions caused by molluscum contagiosum virus (MCV), a disease affecting children and immuno-compromised patients, has been investigated. Nine of sixteen patients who were treated with 10% strength lemon myrtle oil showed a significant improvement, compared to none in the control group. [Burke, B. E.; Baillie, J. E. & Olson, R. D. (2004), "Essential oil of Australian lemon myrtle (Backhousia citriodora) in the treatment of molluscum contagiosum in children", Biomed Pharmacother. 58 (4): 245–247, doi:10.1016/j.biopha.2003.11.006, PMID 15183850]

Lemon Myrtle is wonderful for diffusing in the home or office for clarity and to uplift the mood.

I highly suggest educating yourself about the truth of essential oils by purchasing the Essential Oil Desk Reference book which contains a wealth of information on all of our products including details on each oil and what oils to use for specific situations.

*These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. These products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Don't expect the same results unless you are using Young Living Therapeutic Grade™ Essential Oils and supplements. Also each person is unique and different in chemistry and toxicity levels, as well as emotionally and spiritually, so an oil that is suggested for an issue may not work as well as another. If a change is not apparent within three minutes, try another oil.
