Traditional uses of Lemon Myrtle by Indigenous Australians include wrapping the leaves in paperbark to flavor fish dishes, and to treat headaches by crushing and inhaling the leaves. This oil has the highest citral content of any natural; at 90+% it is much higher than lemongrass. It is also considered to have a "cleaner and sweeter" aroma than comparable sources of citral.
Therapeutically, citral has been shown to exhibit sedative, antibacterial, antiseptic, antiviral, and antifungal properties. Lemon Myrtle’s antimicrobial properties support its potential use as a 100% natural cosmetic preservative. And the hydrosol from this plant is AMAZING!
