History

The use of myrrh oils is as old as that of frankincense. The Egyptians have known it for four millennia and made it one of the components of the kyphi perfume that allowed to be in contact with planes of higher consciousness. They were also used for embalming.

For the Hebrew people, myrrh is one of the main components of a holy anointing oil. Wine mixed with myrrh was offered to Jesus (who refused it) before his crucifixion to alleviate the immense pains of this torture.

In Africa, it was used as an anti-inflammatory to relieve rheumatic pain, in India, it was used to treat mouth ulcers, gingivitis and pharyngitis.

It has been frequently used in the form of mouthwash and is incorporated into many medicinal preparations to treat inflammations of the mucous membranes of the mouth and throat.
