Artisan Steam Hydro Distillation
Bottled in The Holy Land
Our Honey Myrtle essential oil is steam distilled from the leaves, twigs, and soft small white flowers of organically grown shrubs in Australia. Honey Myrtle (Melaleuca teretifolia), belonging to the Myrtaceae family, is a shrub is indigenous to Australia where it grows in sand and clay, in swamps, and in low areas that fill with water in wet weather. The plant is too small to be used for its wood. It is grown in the southwest of Western Australia and distilled for its essential oil.
This Myrtle Essential Oil has the highest known citral content (neral and geranial) of all Melaleucas which is also unique in its high level of myrcene. Citral oils are aldehydes which means they have good anti-bacterial properties and are very calming when used as an inhalation treatment to clear lungs and open airways. However, Aldehydes can cause mucous membrane (skin) irritation so dilution with a carrier is suggested when topically applying this oil.
Biblical Myrtle
Myrtle bush/tree name appears in these verses: Isaiah 41:19; 55:13; Neh. 8:15; Zechariah 1:8, 10-11The flowers are often used at weddings as centerpieces on tables. The flowers are considered to be a symbol of long life and a deep love that will last an eternity for the couple.
In Hebrew, the word for Myrtle is “Hadas” which is from the word Hadassah which is the birth name of Queen Esther. In the Bible, the Myrtle tree was treasured as a wood used to create harps, and lyres, and to build wedding gifts and furniture such as bed clothing racks and dressers.
Myrtle is one of four species used in the Lulav set that was waved during the festival of Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles).
The four [species] at sukkot represent the four-letter Name of God, with the lulav being the [Hebrew letter] vav, which channels the divine energy into the world and man. If for no other reason, the four must be held together while waving for the Unity of the Name.
Honey Myrtle does grow in parts Israel and the Middle Eastern part of the world only because Israel was under British rule and many Brits brought this Myrtle to the Holy Land from Australia simply because Honey Myrtle is the Sweetest herbaceous aroma of all Myrtle species.
