Extraction and Farming Method
Rose Myrtle oil is extracted via steam distillation of the leaves and green branchlets. Rose Myrtle is grown in plantations in northern New South Wales. Plantation trees are planted in rows, are kept to a maximum height of 4 metres, they are hand harvested and are then steam distilled immediately to maintain quality Rose Myrtle essential oil.
History
Traditional Usage
Sadly at present there is no evidence of indigenous use of this plant. This may be because the tree is rare in the wild and the local population of indigenous were largely removed from the direct area of the populations of this tree a very long time ago for the purposes of introduced agriculture. Possibly also being a coastal forest tree, these areas were cleared of forest very early on for sugar cane and cattle grazing and traditional use was lost.
Early European Usage
There is no record of Rose Myrtle oil being produced and sold previously.
Present Day Usage
Rose Myrtle oil was exclusively launched by Essentially Australia at 11am, on the 3rd of June 2014 at the Byron Bay Community Centre with a speech and the support of the Byron Shire Mayor, Simon Richardson.

Precautions for use and proper use of essential oils
*Read before use*
- Use essential oils with moderation and care. Essential oils are very powerful.
- Essential oils should not be applied to the eyes, the eye contour or in the ears. In case of contact, apply a neutral vegetable oil and rinse with water. Consult a doctor quickly. Essential oils must be diluted for application to mucous membranes.
- Always keep essential oils out of reach and out of sight of children. For their safety, never remove the dropper cap from the bottles of essential oils.
- Some oils can be irritating or particularly sensitizing. The majority of essential oils are used diluted in a vegetable oil on the skin. We recommend that you always carry out a skin tolerance test in the crease of the elbow for at least 48 hours before any use on the skin, either pure or diluted. If you observe a reaction (redness, irritation, tingling, etc.), do not use the mixture.
- The essential oils of Angelica, Bergamot, Celery, Lemon, Lime, Khella, Lovage, Tangerine, Orange, Blood Orange, Grapefruit, Tagetes, Fragrant Verbena and the oily macerate of St John’s Wort can be photosensitive. After using these oils, do not expose yourself to the sun or UV rays for 8 to 10 hours.

- In case of respiratory allergies or asthma, avoid inhaling directly from essential oil diffusers.

- In case of accidental ingestion, rinse the mouth with edible vegetable oil. Immediately contact an anti-poison centre and consult a doctor. Do not induce vomiting. If possible, swallow 1 or 2 spoonfuls of edible vegetable oil to dilute the essential oil.
