Conclusion
Even if you’re not particularly religious (or a follower of the Christian faith to be specific), I’m quite sure that we’ve all heard the tale of the three wise men who were guided by a star to the birthplace of Jesus Christ thousands of years ago. The story has played a pinnacle role in shaping the history of believers and nonbelievers alike and is essential to the story of Jesus and his disciples. It is said that the three wise men brought with them gifts of frankincense, gold and myrrh and we’ll soon see why the last was so important. Myrrh was vital to the growth and establishment of ancient healthcare practices and its use for medicinal purposes has been dated back as far as 3000 years to ancient India, where Ayurvedic monks used the sap of the myrrh tree as a tonic or burned it as a form of incense in order to relieve head pains, infections as well as rheumatic pains and other issues related to the nervous system. It’s important to note that the Ayurvedic system of medicine (which gave us oil pulling!) is the oldest known to man, so one could say that myrrh was definitely one of the critical components in shaping our understanding of how to treat illness disease.
