According to the myth, Myrtle was a favourite of the Greek goddess Venus. As such, the scent of myrtle is associated with lasting love.
Myrtle oil's traditional uses are very close to its modern ones. Ancient Romans used the herb to cleanse the skin, freshen breath, and disguise odours, all of which the oil is still used for today.
Myrtle essential oil can be incredibly beneficial for skin, getting rid of excess oil and clearing dead skin cells, as well as cleansing pores.
Many people use myrtle oil in oil-pulling to neutralise bad breath, and it also acts as a natural deodorant, thanks to its aromatic, antifungal properties.

Loving this oil
- BBBethany B.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars7 months agoLovely fresh scent
I bought Myrtle essential oil to try something completely different as I had never seen it for sale before, and I will definitely buy it again. Its a bit like eucalyptus - very fresh - but I think myrtle is more pleasant scent to diffuse in a room. Definitely one of my favourites now!
