Content: How Is It Made? Myrrh essential oil is extracted from dried resins by steam distillation. The “resin” is an organic substance that flows out of a knotted, small, thorny tree, Commiphora myrrha, which is usually found in Middle Eastern and African countries. To gather resin, a tree is cut. Cutting the tree allows it to bleed a sticky flammable substance. This gum-like substance is allowed to dry up and produce and tear-like saps to a size of a walnut in the trunks of the tree. Then it is collected and used to extract myrrh oil. The word myrrh comes from the Arabic word “ murr ” which means “ bitter .” Myrrh oil is dark amber / yellow-ish in color and sometimes turns yellowish green. It has a distinct rich, smoky, balsamic and sweet but sometimes bitter smell.
