Myrtle Hydrosol
Herbal Essence Identified with Purity
Let's Get to Know the Myrtle Tree (Myrtus communis)
Myrtus communis (myrtle, hambeles), identified with the concepts of purity and cleansing, is an evergreen shrub found in the characteristic maquis flora of the Mediterranean Region. Its white flowers, highly appreciated since antiquity, have a strong aroma and have held great value throughout history, both symbolically and medicinally.
The cultural journey of the myrtle tree is quite rich.
Queen Meda's golden crown adorned with myrtle (336 BC) is one of the most impressive examples demonstrating the historical importance of this plant. In ancient wedding traditions, myrtle branches were placed in bridal bouquets to symbolize love and fertility.
The myrtle tree also features in mythological narratives: It is believed that Myrsine, a chaste woman known for her athleticism, was transformed into a myrtle tree by Athena after her death, and therefore myrtle was considered a sacred plant dedicated to the goddess. Its aromatic leaves are used in herbal teas; Its fruits are used in vegetable-based dishes, jams, and jellies. Its young shoots are preferred in wreaths and decorations. It stands out with its high benefit profile, used in both traditional and modern herbal treatments.
