- In diffusers: To purify the air, remove unpleasant room smells, and create an ambiance that’s both soothing and uplifting, add 2-4 drops of 100% Pure Lemon Myrtle Oil to a diffuser or oil burner. This can be useful to calm your anxious mind and improve your mood. Additionally, Lemon Myrtle Oil can be mixed with Rosemary Oil and Peppermint Oil to create an energy-boosting diffuser blend.
- In skincare: To harness Lemon Myrtle Oil’s antimicrobial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties, consider enriching your daily facial cleanser, moisturiser, and body lotion with 1 drop of the oil. This can help you treat acne and oily skin, heal wounds and cuts, combat clogged pores and blemish-causing free radicals, and even get rid of herpes. To treat athlete’s foot, a common fungal infection, dilute a few drops of the oil and apply the mixture to the affected area. The recommended dermal maximum is 0.7%.
- In massage blends: Lemon Myrtle Oil can relieve pain caused by arthritis. To make an effective massage blend, simply dilute 5 drops of Lemon Myrtle Oil with 100 ml of your favourite carrier oil (we suggest opting for Jojoba, Macadamia, Coconut, or Almond). For decongestion, mix the oil at a 0.5% dilution in a carrier oil and massage the blend onto your chest.
- In warm baths: To treat coughs, relieve congestion, and promote clear breathing, add 1 drop of 100% Pure Lemon Myrtle Oil to a warm bath. Alternatively, you can add 2 drops of the oil to a large bowl of hot water and inhale for about 5 minutes. Both of these options can help with stress and anxiety as well.
- In household cleaning products: Due to its high citral content, Lemon Myrtle Oil is a powerful disinfectant. You can add a few drops of the oil to your vacuum cloth bag and the water you use to wash your floors. If you enjoy making your own home cleaners, consider adding a few drops of Lemon Myrtle Oil and a few drops of your favourite citrus oil to a glass spray bottle with distilled water and white vinegar.
