An ancient healer and remedy for a multitude of ailments and symptoms, Myrrh is a remarkable essential oil that you will likely run out of quickly. Its woody and smoky aroma is simply astonishing. Protecting against wrinkles and healing wounds or other skin issues is Myrrh's specialty. It often has a profound effect on athlete's foot and eczema. Throughout history, Myrrh has been an agent in helping with everything from menstrual issues to weak gums. Discovered more than 3,700 years ago, Myrrh was used by the Ancient Egyptians during the embalming process and in perfumes and cosmetics. In Chinese medicine, Myrrh is a solvent for sores, haemorrhoids and arthritis. Because of its opening, heating and drying nature, Myrrh has long been used in the West to remedy asthma symptoms, colds, catarrh, sore throats and ulcers. The Myrrh plant is a petite shrub with knotted branches, trifoliate aromatic leaves and small white flowers and comes from the Commiphora specific. A natural oleoresin exudes from the trunk, producing a pale yellow liquid which hardens into reddish-brown tears, known as Myrrh. Native along the Red Sea region in Somalia, Yemen and Ethiopia, small incisions are made into the bark of the trees to increase the yield. The gum resin is put through a steam distillation process to extract and bottle Myrrh essential oil.
