The history of this plant literally dates back thousands of years and its uses are vast. Antiseptic, antispasmodic, antimicrobial, antifungal, antiviral, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and astringent qualities make it invaluable. All the properties indicate it can be used for treating respiratory issues, allergies, digestive problems, cuts & wounds and skin conditions. Even ancient physicians such as Hippocrates, mentioned myrtle in their writings for its therapeutic benefits.
The use of myrtle water also dates back to antiquity and was once referred to as Angels Water as it was said to bring radiance to the skin.
The leaves and berries were and are still widely used for culinary purposes.
Green Myrtle, like all hydrosols is perfectly diluted and safe to use even on babies and the elderly. Plus it is also safe to use on pets.
