Content: The healing properties of sweet myrrh are similar to those of myrrh (Commiphora myrrha), even though sweet myrrh is not as widely used in aromatherapy. Throughout history, the resin of sweet myrrh has been used as an antiseptic and anti-inflammatory. Some have even claimed that it is the myrrh that the Song of Solomon referred to. It is a popular addition to incense blends and perfumes, and is especially popular as a fixative, allowing scents to linger for longer.1
