Backhousia citriodora, or Lemon Myrtle, is a flowering plant native to the subtropical rainforests of Queensland, Australia. It grows as a medium-sized tree with glossy, lance-shaped leaves that release a distinct lemon scent when crushed. The tree is celebrated for its adaptability and resilience, thriving in well-drained, sunny environments. Its leaves are rich in essential oils, particularly citral, which gives Lemon Myrtle its signature lemon aroma and cleansing properties.
Magical Properties
Lemon Myrtle is renowned for its powerful yet gentle cleansing energy, often used to purify the spirit and elevate clarity. With its fresh, citrus aroma, Lemon Myrtle is said to clear mental fog and create a calm, focused mindset, making it ideal for meditation and grounding practices. It holds a gentle but transformative energy that aids in releasing negative attachments, promoting inner peace and an uplifted spirit. Its light, bright essence embodies clarity and rejuvenation, bringing a sense of purity and renewed focus.
Medicinal Properties
In herbal traditions, Lemon Myrtle is valued for its antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory properties. It’s often used to support respiratory health, soothe sore throats, and ease symptoms of colds and flu. Its naturally high citral content makes it a potent antioxidant, aiding in immune support and cellular health. Commonly brewed in teas or used in essential oil form, Lemon Myrtle promotes general well-being, clarity of mind, and physical vitality.
