Myrrh is an essential oil with a wide and interesting history. This humble shrub has appeared in numerous historical records, dating back nearly 4,000 years. In order to distil the essential oil used today, the bark of the Myrrh shrub is pierced causing a fragrant gum to seep from its branches. This is steam distilled, creating a wonderfully versatile and beneficial oil. Popular throughout ancient Egypt, Myrrh was used in an ar-ray of cosmetic and medicinal processes, from the embalming of mummies to the preparation of skin care treatments for affluent women.
The Greeks also revelled in Myrrh’s cooling and soothing properties, using it in fragrance blends and applying it to skin complaints. In modern aromatherapy Myrrh can be used to treat a host of emotional upsets. Blended with floral oils in a diffuser, Myrrh is said to relax the mind and dissolve negative feelings.
