Lemon Myrtle

[Guest guest]

I must have missed the part about using Lemon Myrtle for Summer

Colds...why Lemon Myrtle rather than Oregano EO ? And how do you use the

Lemon Myrtle ?

Malinda,

Butch wrote it in a letter a couple weeks ago. Was glad I remembered. Just

defused it.

directly from Australia?

It's very expensive and worth it!

perfumer's alcohol, everclear, vodka...all will work for you!

 

just dilute the eo in the alcohol before adding any water (if you plan on

using water, at all)

 

the other option, of course, is using an essential oil diffuser and the

undiluted EO.

Thanks, Marge. I use it in a diffuser but want to take a bottle to work for my

office. This info is helpful. Will I need to shake it each time or will the

alcohol " emulsify " the oil/alcohol/water?

Yes, it is very fresh and lovely.

Interesting- I have never gotten any water on the floor with this

method. I'd look at better spray bottles.

I would not use perfumer's alcohol personally in any case. You can

certainly spray alcohol with eo's into the air, but I think the idea is

a little counter intuitive. You can also add a small amount of alcohol

to your eo and then mix with water, but it will not make any difference

for your issue about spraying.

 

Honestly, I would not suggest spraying alcohol with eo into the air for

an air freshener. If you want to avoid spraying, I'd find an entirely

different method. Use a nebulizer type diffuser to suspend the eo into

the air in a very fine mist and increase the benefits and value of the

eo. Personally, I diffuse only for very specific reasons (colds etc)

and use a water based spray (sometimes with a little alcohol)

otherwise. I use them heavily and have never gotten a drop on my floor.

 

If you have carpet you could also sprinkle with baking soda and vacuum.

My reactions to inhaling Lemon Myrtle - poetic licence may have been

used. As a Sagittarian, this is to be expected.

 

I recently purchased a bottle of Lemon Myrtle while on holiday in

Queensland. I had previously been gifted a bottle and although it was

pleasant, it was not attention grabbing either. My new bottle is

stunning. Once I have finally (@#!!!) mastered the child-proof cap, I

inhale the rich lemony scent and instantly my mouth fills with saliva.

The greedy brain thinks " Yay, lemon meringue pie on its way! "

The aroma to me seems more rounded than lemon EO, and I enjoy its

freshness when I use it as a roomspray or in my oil burner. ( too much

citral for use in massage, I think)

I feel very uplifted around Lemon Myrtle, it seems to cut through brain

fog, a great benefit when one is menopausal. At the same time it is a

very relaxing oil that seems to 'wash away the clutter'.

It is the first week of spring here in New Zealand, what a joke, it is

raining and cold, so with the head clearing aroma buzzing among the

jaded braincells, it is obviously time to enjoy a glass of Sauvignon

Blanc. Cheers

Ok - I have to join in here!!

 

Lemon myrtle; where do I start?!

 

More lemony than lemon. Crisp, citrusy, rainforesty, sweet, uplifting, happy,

vibrant, heady,

 

OK, I've run out of words.

 

Great to use in soap and cheesecake.

 

Wonderful to eat in cheese, sipping a white wine from our Granite Belt region!!

 

Cheers everyone,
