Therapeutic and Energetic Uses of Green Myrtle Hydrosol:
- Respiratory Support: Green myrtle has a tradition of being used to support respiratory health. The hydrosol can be soothing when dealing with respiratory congestion or irritation. It can be used in steam inhalation or as a gentle throat spray.
- Skin Care: Myrtle is known for its astringent and toning properties, making the hydrosol suitable for skincare, especially for oily or acne-prone skin. It can help tighten pores and balance sebum production.
- Antiseptic Properties: Green myrtle has natural antiseptic properties. The hydrosol can be used to cleanse minor wounds or as a skin spray for areas prone to bacterial growth.
- Calming and Relaxing: The scent of myrtle can have a calming effect on the nervous system. The hydrosol can be sprayed in the environment or on linens to promote relaxation and reduce anxiety.

- Immune Support: Historically, myrtle has been considered an immune system booster. While the hydrosol is milder than the essential oil, it can still offer support, especially during seasons when immune support is needed.
- Energetic and Emotional Support: Traditionally, myrtle has been associated with love, peace, and sacred ceremonies. The hydrosol can be used in spiritual practices or for emotional healing and balance.
- Hair Care: Due to its astringent properties, green myrtle hydrosol can be beneficial for oily scalps. It can be added to hair care routines to balance scalp oils and refresh the hair.
