Myrtus communis, the "common myrtle" belongs to the same plant family as Tea Tree and Eucalyptus, giving the three similar characteristics.
In 1876, Dr. Delioux de Savignac advocated the use of Myrtle for bronchial infections, problems of the genitourinary system, and hemorrhoids.
In Biblical times, Jewish women wore garlands of myrtle on their heads on their wedding day as a symbol of conjugal love and to bring them luck, it is still often carried with orange blossoms as a traditional bridal flower.
Women in the south of France used to drink an infusion of the leaves every day to keep their youth and beauty
