Description
Commiphora myrrha
Myrrh Essential Oil is steam distilled from the resin of the myrrh tree. It possesses a warm, rich, balsamic aroma that is earthy, slightly bitter, and deeply resinous. Just a drop or two of Myrrh Essential Oil can add grounding depth and sacred qualities to any blend, making it one of the most ancient and revered essential oils in aromatherapy and spiritual practices.
Myrrh Essential Oil can be useful in diffuser and inhaler blends intended to help ease respiratory congestion, coughs, and support meditation and contemplation. It is valued for its powerful wound-healing and anti-inflammatory properties and is often used in diluted topical applications to support mature or damaged skin, minor wounds, chapped skin, and gum health. Myrrh should be avoided during pregnancy (see safety notes below).
Emotionally, Myrrh Essential Oil is deeply grounding and centering, helping to ease anxiety, grief, and emotional stagnation, while promoting feelings of inner peace, spiritual connection, and emotional strength during times of transition or loss.
