Myrrh essential oil

Precious essential oil with a warm, earthy, resinous, balsamic and spicy aroma, esteemed since ancient times for its spiritual benefits, nowadays also valued in cosmetics, aromatherapy and perfumery.

Since ancient times myrrh resin has been used both for its aroma and for its remarkable properties on the body and mind. Highly prized in the ancient world, used as medicine by the Chinese, Greeks and Egyptians, it is mentioned in the Old Testament as being used in Christian liturgical celebrations.

Myrrh is a shrub native to Somalia and Ethiopia that grows up to 5 m tall. When the bark is cut, the tree exudes a yellowish viscous resin, which once dried is steam distilled to produce the essential oil.

Nowadays myrrh is used in traditional Chinese medicine, Ayurveda, Unani medicine and allopathic medicine as well.
