Honey Myrtle
Native to Western Australia’s sandy soils and wetlands, Honey Myrtle is a delightfully vibrant essential oil that boasts a refreshingly sweet and lemony aroma with light honeyed notes. Rich in citral (which occurs naturally as a mixture of geranial and neral), Honey Myrtle displays impressive purifying and cleansing properties that can help keep your home atmosphere fresh and clean while enlivening it with a warm and welcoming aroma. It also makes a wonderful outdoor companion to help keep bugs at bay due to citral’s natural repellent activity. A close relative of Tea Tree with many similar therapeutic qualities, Honey Myrtle helps with troublesome skin, deodorizes musty areas, and supports a healthy respiratory system. The bright and invigorating aroma can also promote mental focus and lift the spirit in times of sadness and worry. Please note that while Honey Myrtle is not considered KidSafe, this is due to topical concerns; it is safe to diffuse around children over the age of 2.

Anise Myrtle
Anise Myrtle Essential Oil comes from a rare Australian rainforest tree that became nearly extinct during World War II when farmers stripped the lush landscapes to support a shortage of aniseed flavoring. Today, thanks to reforestation projects and sustainable plantations, the world can once again enjoy this unique oil and all it has to offer! Anise Myrtle has a spicy-sweet licorice scent and revitalizing properties that support overall well-being. Its high anethole content contributes to its many therapeutic properties, including digestive, respiratory, and immune support, helping to alleviate muscle and joint discomfort, and soothing concerns related to menopause. Emotionally, Anise Myrtle helps calm the mind and combat feelings of restlessness, sadness, and nervousness. Add a few drops in an aromatherapy inhaler to keep this amazing oil with you throughout the day to feel your best!
