Myrrh is a natural resin extracted from the Commiphora tree, used throughout history as a perfume, incense and medicine. It is also mentioned in many ancient texts, including the Bible and the Torah, for its ability to connect to the Divine. Traditionally used in prayer and as an offering in protection rituals, Myrrh is well known for its purifying properties, for cleansing the soul and clearing the mind. Myrrh resin has a warm, spicy balsamic scent which favours meditation and spiritual uplifting.
It is commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine, Ayurveda and aromatherapy.
