Organic Myrrh, 5 ml

Myrrh refers to the resin of the myrrh tree, which is native to northeast Africa. The myrrh tree can grow up to 10 meters high; The resin flows through incisions in the bark and hardens into small reddish-brown resin tears. Myrrh is used in natural medicine for oral care, skin problems, stomach and intestinal problems, as well as colds and joint problems. In perfumery it is used as a fixative.

The essential oil myrrh organic (bot. Commiphora myrrha) has a bittersweet, deep, balsamic scent, it has a calming effect and regenerates the skin. The essential oil is often used in intensively nourishing skin aid recipes and is also well suited for mixtures for oral care. The combination with essential frankincense oil has proven to be very effective for rough, cracked skin.
In aromatherapy for the psyche, the scent of the essential oil of myrrh is also valuable for stabilization and uprightness, as well as for accompanying emotional wounds.

The essential oil is extracted from the resin of a small tree that grows in dry and water-scarce areas of Africa. The resin is collected, dried and sorted. It is then either used as a resin (e.g. for incense) or further processed into essential oil or extracts. The botanical names of myrrh are Commiphora myrrha and Commiphora molmol. Both are used synonymously.
