Lemon Myrtle is an Australian plant of tropical rain forest origin. Because of its pleasant fragrance similar to lemon, its leaves are used for giving flavor to foods. Lemon Myrtle is also known to some Australian people as a plant effective against Herpes Virus. We tried to use Lemon myrtle in clinical tests for Herpes Virus, etc.

Case: The patient was a man of 30 years old. When he came to the clinic (11/4/98), he told us that it had been 2 years before when he felt sudden palpitation, irregular pulse, heart beats over 150 per minute and numbness in arms and legs.

So he stayed in the hospital for 2 months. After coming back home, he used to feel a sense of incapability and couldn’t concentrate himself on anything.  While driving his car, he found his eyes couldn’t focus and he couldn’t control himself. Herpes Virus 6 was detected by Bi-Digital O-Ring Test* on his back, arm and an area of the head. He also told us that he heard ringing in his ears. He has hemorrhoids with occasional bleeding. He used to eat the Biological Response Modifier (BRM) preparation from Nihon Berum and we added EPA to this. One month later, we gave him Saiko-ka-ryukotsu-boreii-to(TJ-12). In August, we advised him to remove electromagnetic field from his bed. In August, he stopped all medicine from the neurologist.

Until February 2000, Herpes Virus 6 had been detected in the same area and he continued to have a quick pulse (92/min) and something wrong in his head. So, we gave him Lemon myrtle. On the next check up (March,2000), he said he was feeling very well.  We could not detect Herpes Virus 6 from all his affected areas. Also, the pulse became normal. He stopped smoking from that time and now he is in very good condition.

Conclusion: Lemon myrtle is known in Australia to have effect against Herpes Virus. We also observed the effect in the above patient using Bi-Digital-O-Ring Test. In this patient, we also observed that Lemon Myrtle showed the effect to improving blood circulation (by using Thromboxane B2).
