In some cultures, myrtle is considered to be an aphrodisiac (to cause an increase of sexual desire, passion). One of the most interesting properties of myrtle essential oil is that by acting positively on human brain it helps to stop various addictions, bad habits. If a person voluntarily tries to change their character or lifestyle, myrtle essential oil can help with the process. People who practice meditation appreciate the positive effect of myrtle scent as it helps to concentrate.

- Myrtle essential oil is wonderful in the sauna. Pour warm water to a tin or a heat resistant bowl, add 25 to 30 drops of essential oil, and place it in the warmest corner of the sauna. You will love the aroma, and it will also pamper your airways. We recommend trying a duo of myrtle and eucalyptus radiata or myrtle and tea tree essential oils. Never pour water with essential oils directly on hot stones – high heat will not only kill all the therapeutic properties of essential oils but also release compounds harmful to health. High heat and essential oils are incompatible.
- Myrtle essential oil is a great remedy for oily skin with enlarged pores and blackheads. Quite often cleansing skin care products contain myrtle oil. If you want to enrich your cosmetics with it, add a drop of pure myrtle essential oil with a chosen product at the time of use. Wash your face or body with a facial cleanser or shower gel with added drops of myrtle oil. You can also add a drop of oil to face cream or oil. We recommend adding essential oils only at the time of use alongside e.g. shower gel on your palm because when essential oils are added to the container of a product, they will change the consistency in the long run.
- A drop of myrtle oil to a hair shampoo can help to get rid of dandruff, reduce hair oiliness and give shine.
