Everyone knows the importance of healthy hair and naturally wants thick, well-styled locks. Unfortunately, for various reasons, some people experience hair loss, losing a significant portion of their hair, which can be frustrating. Fortunately, today there are many ways to strengthen hair, and one of the most popular methods is using myrtle oil, which has a profound effect on hair health.
Myrtle oil is an essential oil derived from the myrtle shrub, which is naturally used to address hair problems. This evergreen shrub has pointed leaves and is native to North Africa and Europe. In Iran, it is mainly found in the northern regions and Fars province. Beyond the oil, the myrtle plant itself has been widely used in traditional medicine. Its dried powder is applied for various therapeutic purposes, including headache relief and reducing hair loss. Like the plant, myrtle oil has a long history and has been used since ancient times in civilizations such as Greece. Here, we focus solely on the benefits of myrtle oil.
The myrtle plant has been traditionally used for:
Treating acne
Addressing respiratory disorders
Relieving back pain
Healing cold sores
Soothing coughs
Eliminating unpleasant odors
These benefits are specific to the leaves of the shrub. Myrtle oil, however, offers completely different properties, as it is extracted from the plant’s seeds.
Strengthens hair
Effectively treats hair loss
Relieves skin itching and eczema
Eliminates body odor
Known by Dutch women as a secret for beauty

Myrtle tea aids in treating colic
Pure myrtle oil has antidepressant effects, reducing anger and distress

Supports treatment of neurological disorders such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis, tremors, and dizziness

In ancient times, Egyptians used myrtle oil to strengthen hair. They boiled aromatic myrtle leaves and applied the extract directly to the scalp. Today, you can also boil myrtle oil with aloe vera and massage it into the scalp to nourish hair and promote fullness.
Myrtle oil is remarkable for skin care. Like Chinese earthworm oil, it smooths wrinkles and treats eczema. For skin conditions such as itching, blackheads, and dermatitis, myrtle powder or oil can be applied topically for effective results.
