Plant Context

Lemon myrtle is a highly aromatic tree native to Australia, releasing an intense citrus scent when its leaves are disturbed. This immediate sensory response reflects its spiritual role as a clarifier, cutting through fog and sharpening awareness. Its evergreen nature mirrors consistency and mental alertness.
