Myrrh tree resin has been valued since ancient times for its medicinal, cosmetic, aromatic, and spiritual applications. Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh were famously given to the baby Jesus by the Magi, so valuable was this resin considered. To this day, Myrrh is still used in incense formulas used to “smudge” catholic churches.

Myrrh was hugely popular with our ancient ancestors, used as medicine by the Chinese and Egyptians, with the Egyptians also using it as a part of mummification. It was taken into battle by ancient Greek soldiers to stop bleeding wounds and Roman physicians also used Myrrh to treat wounds and prescribed it to be taken internally for digestive problems.

Myrrh Benefits

Antibacterial

It turns out that the Egyptians knew what they were doing when they embalmed their dead bodies using Myrrh – the antibacterial powers of this resin helped to slow decay by killing bacteria and other microbes.

A recent study found that burning Myrrh in incense form can kill airborne bacteria by up to 68 percent. Additionally, in test tube studies it has been found that Myrrh essential oil is highly effective against several different types of infectious bacteria, including some that are resistant to drugs.

Oral Health

The antibacterial qualities of Myrrh can firstly neutralize the germs and bacteria that contribute to halitosis (bad breath). Secondly, it is good for the gums, reducing the redness and swelling associated with gum disease, effectively healing receding gums. There is also research to suggest Myrrh is effective for healing mouth ulcers.

A recent study looked at people with “Behcet’s” disease (an inflammatory mouth disorder) who used a Myrrh-based mouthwash to treat their painful mouth sores. They found that 50 percent of them experienced complete pain relief, whilst 19 percent had complete healing of their mouth sores.

Skin Health

The ancient Greeks and Romans were certainly on the right track by using Myrrh to treat wounds. Scientific research now confirms that Myrrh essential oil (mixed with Sandalwood) is especially effective at killing the microbes that infect skin wounds. Another study found that Myrrh essential oil used alone inhibits the growth of the fungi that cause athletes to foot by 43 – 61 percent.

Myrrh benefits many other skin conditions, including; weeping eczema, bedsores, boils, acne, and deeply chapped skin.

Pain Relief

Myrrh is a powerful anti-inflammatory that works by blocking the inflammatory chemicals that can lead to swelling and pain. This makes it especially useful in relieving inflammatory conditions such as arthritis and back pain. Myrrh essential oil also contains certain compounds that interact with the body’s opioid receptors that tell the brain that you’re not in pain.

Myrrh essential oil diluted in a pure carrier oil makes an excellent massage oil for sore muscles and joints and when taken internally (must be food grade), it can alleviate headaches and migraines.

Antioxidant

Myrrh has an ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) of a staggering 379,800 µTE/100g. Just for comparison, goji berries have a score of 4,310 µTE/100g and blueberries 4,633 µTE/100g. A study published in the journal “Food and Chemistry Toxicology”, found that the antioxidant potential of Myrrh is so high that it may support healthy liver function.

Liver Health

A study conducted at the Beni-Suef University in Egypt found that Myrrh can actually detoxify what the liver cannot – in particular, ammonia. When the liver cannot remove harmful substances sufficiently, they build up in the bloodstream. For example, ammonia, a by-product of protein digestion, needs to be converted into urea in the liver and eliminated via the kidneys. Accumulation of ammonia in the blood, called hyperammonaemia, is toxic to nerves and can lead to a decline of brain functions known as hepatic encephalopathy.

Excessive ammonia is particularly dangerous because it provokes the over-production of nitrogen and oxygen-free radicals. Free radicals steal electrons from the lipids in cell membranes, leading to cell damage.

The team of researchers looked for a remedy in Myrrh, whose antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, sugar-reducing, and liver-protective properties have been used traditionally for the treatment of several diseases. They found that Myrrh induced the production of several antioxidants and detoxifying proteins in the liver, kidneys, and cerebrum.

Respiratory Health

Finally, Myrrh has powerful decongestant properties. Diffusing Myrrh essential oil in an aromatherapy oil burner can clear excessive mucus and provide relief from coughs, colds, bronchitis, and asthma.
