History – Honey Myrtle Essential Oil
Traditional Usage
At this point, there is no evidence of any traditional usage of the tree. However it would be fair to assume some kind of use was made of the leaves used as a perfume on the skin.
Early European Usage
As the tree was small to be used for timber (woodwork or firewood), it was not exploited during the two World Wars like Lemon Myrtle and Anise Myrtle were.
