doTERRA Myrrh Essential Oil soothes skin, promotes youthful-looking complexion, and helps achieve emotional balance and wellbeing.

Ancient records show that Myrrh was deemed so valuable that at times it was valued at its weight in gold. It has powerful cleansing properties, especially for the mouth and throat. It is also soothing to the skin—promoting a smooth, youthful-looking complexion—and promotes emotional balance and well-being.*

Myrrh essential oil is derived from the gummy resin of the small, thorny Myrrh tree and has been used for centuries for its internal and external health benefits. Myrrh has been used throughout history as a perfume, incense, and health aid. It was also employed in embalming and religious ceremonies. 

Myrrh oil has a smoky, sweet or sometimes bitter smell. The word myrrh comes from the Arabic word “murr” meaning bitter. It blends well with citrus oil, such as bergamot, grapefruit or lemon to help lighten up its fragrance.

Emotional Benefits of Myrrh

Sesquiterpenes are one of the active compounds found in Myrrh which have an effect on our emotional center in the hypothalamus, helping us remain calm and balanced. Inhaling the sedative scent of Myrrh is known to stabilise emotions, lift negative moods, promote the feeling of being grounded, and encourage the feeling of spiritual awakening. Use during meditation or yoga to open the crown chakra.

Physical Benefits 

Two primary active compounds are found in Myrrh, called terpenoids and sesquiterpenes, both of which have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. 

Myrrh is excellent to use to clean and wounds and speed up healing. It's actually very good to use for moisturising and overall skin health and vitality, and the ancient Egyptians used it to prevent ageing.

It is known to have benefits in reducing the effects of hay fever and for treating parasites. Add a few drops to hot water and inhale the steam to improve the symptoms of bronchitis, colds or coughs.
