Lemon myrtle
Backhousia citriodora (common names lemon myrtle, lemon
scented myrtle, lemon scented ironwood) is a flowering plant in the
family Myrtaceae, genus Backhousia, native to subtropical rainforests
of Queensland, Australia. Other common names are sweet verbena
tree, sweet verbena myrtle, lemon scented verbena, and lemon
scented backhousia.
It can reach 20 m in height, but is often smaller. The leaves are
evergreen, opposite, lanceolate, 5-12 cm long and 1.5-2.5 cm broad,
glossy green, with an entire margin. The flowers are creamy-white,
5-7 mm diameter, produced in clusters at the ends of the branches
from summer through to autumn, after petal fall the calyx is
persistent.
Lemon myrtle was given the botanical name Backhousia
citriodora in 1853 after the English botanist, James Backhouse. The
common name reflects the strong lemon smell of the crushed leaves.
An extremely potent antibacterial and germicide, Lemon Scented
Myrtle is reputed to be a much more effective germ killer than the
more familiar Tea Tree.
Uses: Indigenous Australians have long used lemon myrtle, both
in cuisine and as a healing plant. The oil has the highest citral purity;
typically higher than lemongrass. It is also considered to have a
"cleaner and sweeter" aroma than comparable sources of citral -
lemongrass and Litsea cubeba.
Antimicrobial: Lemon myrtle essential oil possesses antimicrobial properties; however the undiluted essential oil is toxic to
human cells in vitro. When diluted to approximately 1%, absorption
through the skin and subsequent damage is thought to be minimal.
Use of lemon myrtle oil as a treatment for skin lesions caused by
molluscum contagiosum virus (MCV), a disease affecting children and
immuno-compromised patients, has been investigated. Nine of
sixteen patients who were treated with 10% strength lemon myrtle oil
showed a significant improvement, compared to none in the control
group. The oil is a popular ingredient in health care and cleaning
products, especially soaps, lotions and shampoos.
