Lemon Myrtle



Lemon Myrtle has come to my attention recently and I love using. It has a wonderful citrus-lemon scent. When I sniff it cheers me up.  It comes in many forms and can be taken in a variety of different ways so you are not limited to a boring routine. It can be used in cooking to spice up a recipe, taken as a tea or applied topically in the form of essential oils. Its rich lemon aroma is both pleasant and soothing. Lemon myrtle is used to treat a diversity of ailments from throat disorders to gastric problems, and it is sold in many health and supplement stores.

I put lemon myrtle herbs in water and I also make it a tea. In the summer loved it as Iced Tea. Now that the weather is cooling, I drink it as a tea, and it soothes and helps me feel at peace. Lemon myrtle makes a great antioxidant herbal tea.


The lemon myrtle is a tree that grows naturally in the Australian coastal regions like Queensland and New South Wales. The tree can reach heights of 60 feet or more, though its average height is approximately half of that. The tree is now grown in other parts of the word, including in South Africa and the southern sections of the United States and Europe. While the tree’s flowers and fruits can both be eaten, it is the leaves that have gained a reputation for having the most uses and health benefits.


Despite its citrus scent and flavour, lemon myrtle is not acidic, giving it a wide range of options when used to enhance or complement a meal. It is sold in the form of herbal tea, essential oil, powder or spice. The leaves can be ground or sold individually.


Lemon myrtle has a reputation as a powerful antiseptic and anti-virus agent that can destroy disease-carrying microorganisms. It has been used to treat allergies, colds, sore throats, gastric disturbances and infections.


Lemon myrtle promotes a healthy immune system and can be applied topically to treat problems like warts, cold sores and acne. It is a highly potent antioxidant that can help fight diseases such as cancer. It is high in minerals like calcium, zinc and magnesium, and it has a healthy helping of vitamins A and E.

To sum up lemon myrtle is a fragrant antioxidant herbal supplement that can be used in different ways every day to intensify food flavours, enhance your personal care routine and promote better overall health.
