Myrrh

History of Myrrh Essential Oil

The use of myrrh oils dates back to ancient Egypt, where it was used as a key ingredient in the kyphi perfume, enabling contact with higher consciousness planes. It was also essential in embalming rituals. The Hebrew people regarded myrrh as a sacred component of anointing oils, and wine mixed with myrrh was offered to Jesus before his crucifixion.

Used for over 4,000 years, myrrh resin is revered for its antiseptic and healing properties. Ancient civilizations recognized its ability to treat wounds, prevent gangrene, and act as an anti-inflammatory remedy for rheumatic pain. In India, it was used for oral health, and in Africa, it was used to relieve various skin conditions and to soothe inflammation.

Explanation of Essential Oils

Essential oils, like Rare Wild Ginseng, are extracted using spagyria—a form of alchemy that aims to separate and purify the body, soul, and spirit of the plant. Myrrh essential oil represents the “Fire” principle, embodying the spirit of the plant, and offers an array of anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, and anti-viral benefits that have been used throughout history.
