Myrrh essential oil

Description: Myrrh is a reddish resin collected from the short thorny tree of the Commiphora myrrha plant. The trunk exudes a natural oleoresin that hardens into what is classified as reddish brown 'tears'. Native collectors make incisions into the trees in order to increase the yield. This oleoresin is steam distilled to create the essential oil.

History: It is documented that the Egyptians were the first to use myrrh during worship and at funerals. The Parsees of northern India still use the resins in religious ceremonies: myrrh symbolises self-denial; frankincense represents spirituality, and gold the wealth of humankind.

Consistency: medium to heavy

Common uses

Aromatherapy: Myrrh essential oil has a warm, earthy, and slightly sweet aroma that is often used in aromatherapy to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and create a calming atmosphere.

Meditation: The rich and grounding scent of myrrh essential oil is often used in meditation and spiritual practices to enhance focus, deepen mindfulness, and create a sense of connection to one's inner self or spiritual realm.

Fragrance: Myrrh essential oil is used in perfumery and cosmetic products to add depth and complexity to fragrances. Its unique aroma can contribute to the overall scent profile of perfumes, colognes, and other scented products.

Incense and rituals: Myrrh has been traditionally used as incense in religious and spiritual ceremonies. The aromatic smoke released when myrrh resin is burned is believed to purify the air and create a sacred ambiance.

Air freshener: Due to its pleasant and grounding scent, myrrh essential oil can be added to homemade air fresheners, potpourri, or diffusers to naturally fragrance indoor spaces.
