Myrrh, like frankincense, is one of the most recognized oils from
biblical times. But it is much older, records of its use dating from
some 3700 years ago. The ancient Egyptians used it for embalming purposes
and in their perfumes and cosmetics as well as in rituals to the sum god Ra
and in the temples of Isis. In China it is used for arthritis,
menstrual problems, sores and haemorrhoids. In the West is is noted for
its heating, drying nature good for asthma, coughs, catarrh, sore throat,
weak gums and teeth. Our myrrh is 50% resin so it will remain pourable at
room temperature. Avoid during pregnancy.
