Lemon Myrtle, also known as Sweet Verbena, is an ingredient from a subtropical plant only found in Australia and has been used for medicine and flavouring in Australia for hundreds of years.

The essential oil distilled from the leaves has a refreshing lemony scent and has been found to have antifungal and antibacterial properties.
