Myrrh- Commiphora myrrha

Method of Extraction:

The resin of the Myrrh tree.

Description:

Sweet, smoky, slightly musky aroma. Pale yellow to amber in colour.

Suggested uses:

Place 1 drop each of Myrrh, Benzoin and Lavender in a bowl of boiling water. Drape a towel across your head and shoulders and inhale the vapours for a few minutes.
Try blending 1 drop of Myrrh, 2 drops of Geranium and 1 drop of Peppermint in 10ml of Coconut oil to use as a massage oil on neglected feet.

Myrrh, like Frankincense, is distilled from a resin. It is extremely viscous, and therefore more difficult to use. Absolute Aromas has used a larger dropper for this oil, but with time it may solidify. The only solution is to warm the oil gently in the hands before use, and to be patient!
