Myrrh Essential Oil [Wild Crafted]

Description

Our Extraordinary Kenyan Myrrh Essential Oil

Myrrh essential oil is smoky, slightly gummy in texture, sweet and slightly musky.

Obtained from tree sap, the aromatic resin has been highly prized for thousands of years. Our myrrh essential oil is steam distilled from resin gathered from gnarled trees growing wild in the African country of Kenya.

Our Myrrh oil is presented in a pure, undiluted form for use in aromatherapy, massage therapy, and for promoting calmness and a meditative state.

Myrrh has been revered since ancient times, and was one of the gifts brought to the infant Jesus by the Magi. Myrrh is used in many traditional medicines as an antiseptic and for treating hay fever.  The scientific world is currently investigating two compounds in myrrh – terpenoids and sesquiterpenes – for their potential anticancer benefits.

Extracted by gentle steam distillation, our myrrh essential oil is presented in a pure and concentrated form, ready for use in a variety of therapies, essential oil blends, and in perfume. The scent of pure myrrh essential oil can be bitter, so add citrus essential oils to any blend to lighten the effect.

Use myrrh essential oil to:

• Relieve cold and cough symptoms
• Calms digestive problems
• Reduce swelling and inflammation
• Invoke a spiritual state for prayer
• Ground and mellow out your emotions
