Myrtle (Myrtus communis) is a shrub from the Myrtaceae family, native to the Mediterranean basin, which grows in the wild in dry and sunny scrubland. Its persistent, lanceolate and opposite leaves are extremely aromatic.

Myrtle essential oil has been used for treating acne, oily skin, and loose pores especially around the Mediterranean even from the Middle Ages, being known as a soft, mild sort of oil with effects for reproduction, convergence, and prevention of allergy.

Essential oils, properly used, are safe and effective for many routine issues, but there can be bad, even dangerous, reactions from people who are grossly misusing them. Our advice: Study up on the different oils, their risks and benefits; consult with a licensed aromatherapist, not only the distributor for a company. Always read the fine print on the bottle, look it up on the official internet website of the brand about how to use them.

A couple of simple tips (not a complete list), includes:

Do not apply undiluted essential oils to your skin.

Do not put drops of essential oil into a bath and then step into it.

Do not ingest essential oils unless advised to do so by a practitioner who is qualified/licensed to prescribe essential oils in this way. 

It is not advisable to directly and intensively inhale essential oils for longer than 15-20 minutes.

Essential oils are flammable, and should not be used in any way that involves close proximity to a naked flame or similar fire hazard.
