Myrtle Essential Oil

Description

Myrtle essential oil (Myrtus communis) is mentioned in the bible as a symbol of divine generosity and in the Quran as the tree of paradise. In Greek mythology, it is dedicated to Venus, the Goddess of love, because apparently it has the power to bring love and take care of love. In my experience of working with it, it really helps me to trust, to tune into the love I have for another. It softens the hard edges and makes connection and communication easier and more soulful. It works on a deep level and seems to help heal psychic wounds that we carry with us from past traumas, such as sexual abuse, and domestic violence. It helps with anxiety and other negative states such as panic, jealousy, despair.

In France myrtle essential oil is cited as being helpful for people working on addictions such as drugs and cigarettes.
