Myrrh gum, pieces

Warning - Not for Food Use

Myrrh gum, also known simply as myrrh, is a resin that is harvested from the Commiphora myrrha tree, native to parts of Africa and the Middle East. It has been used for thousands of years in traditional medicine and religious ceremonies. Myrrh gum is typically harvested by making small cuts in the bark of the tree, allowing the resin to ooze out and harden into small, irregularly shaped pieces. These pieces are then collected and dried, ready to be used in various applications.

Myrrh gum has a long history of use for its potential health benefits. It is believed to have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties. In traditional medicine, myrrh gum is often used to help support oral health, promote skin health, and support digestive function. It is also used in aromatherapy for its calming and grounding effects. Myrrh gum is commonly found in herbal preparations such as tinctures, powders, and essential oils, and is also used as an incense in religious and spiritual ceremonies.
