Myrrh Commiphora myrrha m. (2170)

Myrrh’s smooth, sweet, warm scent has been used for centuries in perfumery and religious ceremonies. The oil has a reputation for healing the skin especially when it is inflamed, weepy, or cracked. Gum problems such as gingivitis respond well to myrrh when a drop is added to a mouthwash. It soothes sore throats and coughs, and fights fungal infections such as athlete’s foot or toenail fungus. Mature skin may benefit from this healing resin, helping to prevent wrinkles. It is a calming oil, often used for meditation and to strengthen spirituality.

This is a pure therapeutic-quality aromatherapy essential oil produced using wild-crafted plants and traditional methods from Somalia, and is obtained from the resin.
