Plant type: an evergreen shrub or a small tree.
Latin name: Myrtus communis

Patricia Davis recommends its use as a chest rub in 3 % dilutions, while it is also 'a good oil for elderly people both as a treatment and a preventative measure against chest infections'.
Its antiseptic and bactericidal properties make myrtle oil useful in pulmonary ailments. The relatively mild nature of myrtle and its unobtrusive odour also mean that the oil is suitable to use for children’s cough and chest complaints. As it is less stimulating than eucalyptus and is slightly sedative, myrtle oil is ideal to vapourise in a room overnight.
Species: Myrtus communis L.
Skin care:
Depending on where it is manufactured the oil can have a more lemony scent and might easily be confused with lemon myrtle (Backhousia citriodora), which is native to Australia. The Corsican variety of myrtle has a very high content of 1,8-cineole and is recognisable by its distinct bright green colour.
Essential Oil Profile: Myrtus Communis

It is a mobile liquid usually pale-yellow to orange-yellow in colour.
Family: Myrtaceae
Place of origin: Mediterranean basin [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], now native to southern Europe and North Africa.

Principal constituents: The main chemical constituent of Myrtus communis is cineol, closely followed by myrtenol, pinene, geraniol, linalol and camphene. For a full chemical breakdown see the list of individual constituents below:
Genus: Myrtus
If you are fortunate enough to have a myrtle growing in your garden, pick off one of the leaves and crush it between your fingers. It will release a pleasing camphor-like fragrance. Myrtle oil is sometimes negelected in aromatherapy texts, but it has many uses and will make a delightful addition to your essential oil collection.
Method of extraction: Steam distillation from the leaves and twigs. Occasionally the flowers are used, which may explain the distinct variation in the scent of the oil when it is manufactured in different regions.
