Backhousia myrtifolia, commonly known as cinnamon myrtle, is an Australian evergreen shrub whose leaves are used as a herbal tea and culinary spice. It is traditionally employed for easing digestive discomfort, relieving coughs, and supporting circulation, and its essential oil is valued for its soothing, anti‑inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. Use in small amounts is generally safe, but high doses or prolonged use may cause skin irritation or interact with anticoagulant medications; discontinue if adverse reactions occur.
