Perhaps you are a traditionalist? Well consider this, one of our earliest EVER recorded medical texts, the 3,500 year old Egyptian medical papyrus of herbal knowledge, mentions myrrh for healing wounds. That's 1,500 years BEFORE the birth of Baby Jesus! --- Perhaps you care more about the MODERN SCIENCE? --- In that case let me tell you about the a-pinene, heerabolene, cadinene, eugenol, m-cresol, and other other exotic sesquiterpenes, terpenoids and acids which make up this amazing oil! Together they form a super potent ant-inflammatory, antioxidant and antiseptic, protecting, nourishing, and even regenerating new skin cells to tackle old age wrinkles, chapping, and sun-burn. --- Crude gum of the myrrh tree is difficult to use - it sets as hard as stone - so since ancient times the essential oil has been extracted from the gum via steam distillation, at just a tiny 4% of the precious gum's weight! This is why it's so hard to obtain and valuable, yet certainly what would have been given to Mary to care for baby Jesus, as a rock of raw resin would be of little use to her. --- ORAL CARE--- Ultra-fine powdered myrrh is used in many modern dental products, and for throat infections, as it is so effective against the bacteria that causes gingivitis (sore gums). The oil is far more powerful than the resin, so try just a drop or two at first, in a mouthwash. --- SPIRITUAL PEACE (INNER CALM) --- Again the science is strong, for this myrrh essential oil contains over 70 percent sesquiterpenes, compounds which directly affect our hypothalamus, our pituitary gland, and our amygdala, which are the real "hearts" of our emotions! --- Myrrh is known for bringing you to a place of contented bliss, wherever you are!
