Supports Letting Go

Myrtle Oil is is supportive of the skin, and hair.  It is also helpful for meditation and lifting the spirit.

It is contained in Purification and RC blends. These are both blends that I would diffuse to support to open the breathe.

Myrtle’s chemistry is very close to frankincense essential oil.

Myrtle oil helps balance the male and female energies of the body by releasing anger and inner conflict. It will help those who feel suppressed or confused by life as well.

Balancing the male and female energies is important to becoming whole in our spiritual evolution. Often times we are taught to be one sided and avoid masculine or feminine traits.

Can this Oil be Used for Pets?  Yes  Have your animals smell it directly from the bottle or place a drop or two in your palm, then smell. Or place a drop in your palm and pet head to toe.

Note About Animal Use: Certain oils can be very toxic to cats. Citrus and pine oils in particular that are not of therapeutic grade! Please consult your vet if you are not sure about applying any essential oil to your pet.

I only recommend using Young Living Oils on animals at this time.
