Myrtus communis ct. acétate de myrtényle
8-18€ / 10ml
Myrtle is an aromatic shrub of the Mediterranean basin, sacred to the ancient Greeks. Aphrodite, goddess of love, wore a crown of myrtle. Romans used it to perfume banquets. Myrtle grows in Corsica, Sardinia, Tunisia and Morocco. There are two chemotypes: red myrtle (rich in myrtinyl acetate) and green myrtle (rich in 1,8-cineole). Red myrtle is the most widespread in French-language aromatherapy.
Red myrtle is a gentle, well-tolerated and versatile essential oil for the respiratory sphere. Unlike eucalyptus (powerful but irritating), red myrtle is suitable for children and sensitive individuals. It is the gentle expectorant par excellence. Its myrtinyl acetate also gives it a venous decongestant action (heavy legs, hemorrhoids).

Red myrtle is a specialized antitussive, particularly for dry coughs and nighttime coughs. Myrtenyl acetate calms the cough reflex without suppressing useful expectoration. 2-3 drops diluted on the chest before bed.
Red myrtle (Morocco) is richer in myrtenyl acetate and more antitussive. Green myrtle (Corsica) is richer in 1,8-cineole and more expectorant. For dry cough, prefer red. For productive cough, prefer green.
