Myrtle, Myrtus

The leaves from the myrtle (Myrtus communis) make into a tea that is good for diabetes and also acts against cancer. For cancer, comfrey and aloe vera are added. It is said to be active against breast, limg, bone, and glandular cancers. 

Myrtle (Myrtus communis) is an evergreen shrub, the essential oil of which is much prized in perfumery. On the other hand, myrrh (Hebrew murr = bitter) refers to the resin of the tree Commiphora myrrha, from the balscim family, which is used in embalming.

In both the New and Old Worlds many genera of the myrtle family (Myrtaceae) unfurl their waxy, leathery leaves. Containing both trees and shrubs, this an-giosperm family takes its name from the shrub Myrtus, which is found near the Mediterranean, in North Africa, and in South America. 

The term myrtle, a common name for some species in the genus Myrtus, is also used as a common name for numerous other plants. These are not to be confused with species from the Myrtaceae. The best known plant called a myrtle, which is not a member of the Myrtaceae, may be the popular garden plant, crepe myrtle, (Lager-stroemia indica), of the Lythraceae or loosestrife family. 

The Myrtaceae is commonly subdivided into two subfamilies, the Leptospermoideae, which is distributed mostly in Asia and Africa, and the Myrtoideae, found in tropical America, Asia, Australia, and the Pacific. The myrtle family is best known from Australia. Many species in the genera Eucalyptus, Calliostemon, and Verticordia, among others, are found in Australia. However, many genera such as Psidium are present in the Americas, and Myrtus of the Mediterranean and Northern Africa. The genus Eucalyptus is probably the best known representative of the Myrtaceae.

Myrtaceae (myrtle), and Rutaceae (citrus) plant families. Table 1 provides examples of a few of the better known essential oils, the plants from which they are derived, and the major constituents found in each of these oils. It is important to note that the composition of these oils can vary dramatically, even within species. Factors impacting the composition include the part of the plant from which the oil is extracted (i.e., leaf tissue, fruits, stem, etc.), the phenological state of the plant, the season, the climate, the soil type, and other factors. As an example, rosemary oil collected from plants in two areas of Italy were demonstrated to vary widely in the concentrations of two major constituents, 1,8-cineole (7% to 55%) and a-pinene (11% to 30%) [6]. Such variation is not uncommon and has also been described for the oils derived from Ocimum basilicum [7] and Myrtus communis [8].

Hassiotis and Lazari examined the bacterial population growth during degradation of Myrtus communis L. (Myrtaceae) essential oil. It could be shown that the bacterial population was able to grow and use myrtle essential oil, whose compounds were decreasing over the time, as energy source. At the end of the study, only low percentages of 1,8-cineole and camphene could be detected (Hassiotis and Lazari, 2010). 

Essential oils from oregano herb (Origanum onites), laurel leaf (Taurus nobilis), sage leaf (Salvia fruticosa), fennel frnit (Foeniculum vulgare), myrtle leaf (Myrtus communis), and citrus peel (rich in limonene) were mixed and formulated as feed additive after encapsulation. It is marketed in Turkey as poultry feed under the name Herbromix .
