Myrrh Oil

What Is Myrrh Oil?

Did you know that resins and gums are metabolic by-products of plant tissues that result from disease or injury to the bark or wood of certain plants? Indeed, when a wound on a tree penetrates through the bark and into the sapwood, the tree secretes a resin or gum. Many gums or gum resins have been used as food and medicine throughout history. Myrrh gum is a resin harvested from Commiphora myrrha (also known as C. molmol), a tree native to the Arabian Peninsula and to Africa using a steam distillation process. Read more >

Myrrh Oil Benefits

Did you know that resins and gums are metabolic by-products of plant tissues that result from disease or injury to the bark or wood of certain plants? Indeed, when a wound on a tree penetrates through the bark and into the sapwood, the tree secretes a resin or gum. Many gums or gum resins have been used as food and medicine throughout history. Myrrh gum is a resin that’s used to make the essential oil and it’s harvested from Commiphora myrrha (also known as C. molmol), a tree native to the Arabian Peninsula and to Africa using a steam distillation process.

Myrrh resin has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Ayurvedic medicine as a perfume, incense, and medicine throughout history. It has a unique sweet, smoky, and bitter aroma, which isn't surprising when you consider the word "myrrh" comes from the Arabic "murr," meaning bitter. From a chemical composition perspective, myrrh contains two very distinct compounds: terpenoids and sesquiterpenes, both of which offer robust anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

Benefits of Myrrh Essential Oil

Therapeutic Properties of Myrrh Essential Oil

While myrrh still conjures up thoughts of the three wise men and the gifts they brought to Jesus in Biblical stories (along with gold and frankincense), this essential oil offers very impressive health benefits thanks to its potent antioxidant and immune-boosting activity.

Myrrh essential oil is commonly used as an antiseptic to treat skin abrasions and wounds and prevent infections, including those caused by the Staph bacteria. Interestingly, this oil’s antibacterial properties seem to be strongest when combined with frankincense oil, another gum resin. Myrrh oil is also a potent analgesic and can help relieve aches, pains, and sprains. But the benefits don't stop there; myrrh oil is also great for relieving indigestion, colds, coughs, lung congestion, and joint pain, and it can treat fungal and parasitic infections. Myrrh is also frequently used in spiritual and incense/room fragrance applications.

Using Essential Oils

Myrrh essential oil delivers decidedly woody notes and blends well with spicy, floral, or citrus essential oils. Some of the best pairings include frankincense, sandalwood, and clove. Other great pairings for this oil include floral and leafy oils like lavender, eucalyptus, and jasmine, and sweeter or citrusy scents like lemon, juniper berry, and grapefruit oil.

Myrrh oil may cause skin sensitivity. A skin patch test is recommended; always avoid contact with the eyes, inner ears, and other sensitive areas. Myrrh oil should also never be used internally, as it can be toxic.
