History and traditions: Myrtle gives off a delicately balsamic aroma, once appreciated both in fumigations and in the preparation of ointments and ointments. In all ancient civilizations myrtle was considered sacred and, in various religious cults, consecrated to female divinities - Astarte, Aphrodite, Venus and Mary - as a symbol of purity, grace and love. For this reason myrtle was considered capable of promoting love and used for the purification of closed environments. Its use was also indicated during meditation and prayer.
