Indigenous Australians have long used lemon myrtle, both in cuisine and as a healing plant. The oil has a high citral purity; typically higher than lemongrass. It is also considered to have a cleaner and sweeter aroma than comparable sources of citral.

Ingredients

Backhousia Citriodora.
Certified Organic.
A crisp lemon scented oil, rich in citral, excellent as a food flavour and a powerful anti microbial.

Suggested dose

Use in oil burner: add a few drops to water.
Possible skin irritant; This oil is very strong, dilute before use.
NOT TO BE TAKEN INTERNALLY

Lemon Myrtle

What is lemon myrtle?

Lemon myrtle is a zesty Australian native whose ground leaf adds a bright lemon note to food and drinks, just like any dried herb. You'll see it on labels as Backhousia citriodora, and the oil is made for your skin.

Is Lemon Myrtle right for you?

The leaf and the oil are different products, and nearly every caution below is about the oil. These are the questions our naturopaths ask in store about lemon myrtle.

A good fit if

You're buying the ground leaf to cook with, the way you'd use any dried herb
You're an adult buying the oil for yourself, to use on your skin
You've read the label of the product you're holding before you start

Check with us first if

You take prescription medicine of any kind. We didn't find any interaction studies for lemon myrtle, so that question is unanswered rather than cleared.
You're thinking of swallowing the oil. The Australian listing only covers use on the skin, not taking the oil by mouth.
If you take prescription medicines, check with your doctor, pharmacist or our naturopaths before starting.

Common questions

What's lemon myrtle called on an Australian label?

Usually Backhousia citriodora. The Australian rules list lemon myrtle only by its botanical name, as item 753 on Australia's permitted ingredients list. Lemon myrtle on the front of the pack and Backhousia citriodora on the back are the same plant. That listing covers the leaf oil in skin medicines, not the powder you'd cook with.

Is lemon myrtle oil the same as lemon myrtle powder?

They come from the same leaf, but they're different products. The powder is the dried, ground leaf, used in food and drinks like any other dried herb. The oil is taken from the leaf, and in Australian medicines it's only allowed in products for your skin, at no more than 1% of the product. Don't use one as a swap for the other.

Before you start

If any of these sound like you, talk to one of our naturopaths or your doctor before you start.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding. Leaf-oil skin products carry a 'not recommended' warning under Schedule 1 item 753.
Children under 12. Item 753 carries the warning 'Use in children under 12 years is not recommended'.
Skin irritation. Item 753 carries the warning 'If irritation develops, discontinue use'.
Swallowing the oil. Item 753 only allows the leaf oil in medicines applied to the skin.
Prescription medicines. We gathered no interaction study for lemon myrtle, so this is unanswered, not cleared.

The evidence, and its limits

The Australian rules

Lemon myrtle is on Australia's permitted ingredients list (Schedule 1, Determination No. 2 of 2026) under its botanical name, BACKHOUSIA CITRIODORA, item 753, allowed with conditions. It must come from the leaf oil only, and it's only for medicines applied to the skin, at no more than 1% of the medicine. The common name lemon myrtle has no Schedule 1 entry of its own, and that's a naming difference, not a ban. The listing says nothing about lemon myrtle as a food. A powder, tea or seasoning is regulated as a food ingredient, so it sits outside this listing rather than being banned by it. Being allowed isn't the government endorsing any product or claim.

Read the instrument: Schedule 1, item 753.
