What is Myrrh?

Content: It was one of the ingredients in the divinely formulated holy anointing oil used by priests ancient Israel. Myrrh was considered a highly spiritual oil/resin and was a prized commodity throughout the Middle East. Egyptians carried cones of fat on their heads containing myrrh that would melt in the desert heat and keep their bodies bathed in myrrh and other oils. Today, many appreciate myrrh for its skin supportive properties and add it to their skin care routine by gently smoothing their wrinkles and dry areas with myrrh before proceeding with their chosen skincare protocol. Down through history, myrrh has been used by women during their childbearing years. It may help maintain skin elasticity when applied topically. When diffused and inhaled during labor, myrrh’s fragrance may prove to be a calming breath of fresh air. When combined with other essential oils, myrrh prolongs the scent of the other oils, making it a favorite among perfumers. In fact, it was blended with so many perfumes and ointments in Biblical times that in the Gospels the Greek word for myrrh, “muron,” was sometimes translated as “ointment” without revealing that its content included myrrh.
