Profile

“Myrtle is helpful for people whose body seems draped in a gray, brown veil from smoking, drug abuse, or emotions like anger, greed, envy or fear. In such cases myrtle oil helps to cleanse the personal delicate inner being or dissolve disharmony.” (Fisher-Rizzi S. Complete aromatherapy handbook. Sterling Publishing Company, USA, 1990)

Myrtus communis is a flowering tree of the Myrtaceae family.  This evergreen grows to about 16 ft. It is fragrant from top to bottom, with white star-like flowers that transform to purplish-blackberry-fruits. The wood produces a gum, which the Greeks considered like Myrrh. The leaves are distilled to produce the Myrtle Essential Oil. Collection and distillation take place the same day in Dalmatia, an old state in Croatia. The color of the oil is pale-yellow to orange yellow. It has a clear, fresh, slightly sweet, and penetrating aroma. 

FACT:   When Myrtle was introduced in Britain in the late 16th Century, the leaves and flowers were a major ingredient in a skin care lotion called ‘Angel’s Water.’

AUROMA QUALITY

AUROMA Essential Oils are the highest quality essential oils available in the world today. Each oil is from an individual farmer and from a particular year’s harvest. As AUROMA knows each of the Farmers, they guarantee the authenticity of each oil. Just to be certain, they analyze each oil using the latest state-of-the-art GC-MS technology, which can detect impurities to one part per billion. Yes! AUROMA represents the best there is in Essential Oils. We can supply the following documentation: Certificates of Analysis and Safety Data Sheets (SDS)

To meet the stringent demands of the professional aromatherapist, AUROMA has drafted the following seven requirements that an essential oil needs to meet so it can be used with confidence:

  1. BIO-TYPE: Not only does an oil have to come from a defined botanical species, but from a particular genetic strain.
  2. CHEMO-TYPE: The same botanical species can often produce completely different constituents.
  3. GEO-TYPE: Oils from a particular area are often of superior quality. Examples are Rose Oil Bulgarian or Sandalwood East Indian.
  4. COMPLETE OR WHOLE: The oil should come from a single distillation and should not be rectified.
  5. WILD OR ORGANIC: Where possible, AUROMA always selects the wild growing plants for distillation. When wild types are not available, AUROMA commissions farmers who do not use pesticides or chemical fertilizers. Certified Organic options are available.
  6. EX STILL: AUROMA distills small lots of expensive oils in-house and advises farmers on distillation methods.
  7. ANALYYSIS: Oils are tested by AUROMA in Australia with the most advanced state-of- the-art equipment in the world.
