Originating in the Middle East and East Africa, myrrh is a tree-like shrub that grows in arid soil. Its essential oil is derived from its resin, which is harvested by making deep scores into the sapwood. Myrrh has an earthy, balsamic-like scent and has been used for centuries in traditions around the world. Revered for awakening the spiritual senses, myrrh is commonly present in perfumes and skin-care products.

History of Myrrh

Myrrh essential oil has been prized for millennia. Although native to the Middle East and the dry regions of East Africa, myrrh found its way much further abroad. Earthy, rich and welcoming, the scent of myrrh has a subtly sweet balsamic note, and its inviting air is particularly appealing to those seeking greater spiritual openness.
