Lemon Myrtle for Molluscum Contagiosum study

Posted by Lemon Myrtle on July 07, 2015 . 0 Comments

We knew Lemon Myrtle has been used by Aborigines for treating a number of ailments ( and for cooking) and a recent study was published -"Essential oil of Australian lemon myrtle (Backhousia citriodora) in the treatment of molluscum contagiosum in children" Burke BE1, Baillie JE, Olson RD.

"Current treatment options are invasive, requiring tissue destruction and attendant discomfort. Thirty-one children (mean age 4.6 +/- 2.1 years) with the diagnosis of molluscum contagiosum (mean length of time with condition 8.6 +/- 5.3 months) were treated with once daily topical application of a 10% solution (v/v) of essential oil of Australian lemon myrtle (Backhousia citriodora) or vehicle (olive oil). At the end of 21 days, there was greater than 90% reduction in the number of lesions in 9/16 children treated with lemon myrtle oil, while 0/16 children met the same criteria for improvement in the vehicle group (P < 0.05). No adverse events were reported."
