Plant & Properties

Myrrh is the aromatic oleoresin of a number of small, thorny tree species of the genus Commiphora, which grow in dry, stony soil. An oleoresin is a natural blend of essential oil and resin. Myrrh resin is a natural gum. This gum is distilled to produce the essential oil, which is used extensively in aromatherapy, but the hydrolat is also effective, easy to use and very versatile.
