The Benefits of Myrrh 
Supports Healthy Skin

The benefits of myrrh - powerful antioxidant support. It supports healthy skin. The Arabian people believed it helped wrinkled, chapped, and cracked skin. Today, myrrh is widely used in oral hygiene products.

Contains a high content of sesquiterpenes, a class of compounds that have a direct effect on our emotions or limbic system. It is purifying, restorative, revitalizing, and uplifting.

We also know that Myrrh was given to Baby Jesus along with Frankincense and Gold. So, Myrrh and Frankincense were considered luxury items used by the wealthy and highly regarded next to gold.

The benefits of myrrh include skin care. Since the Egyptians it has been used to maintain healthy skin and sooth chapped or cracked skin. Many of the skin care products and animal scents ointment  contain myrrh essential oil.

My favorite professionally made blends that contain Myrrh are Gratitude, Humility and Hope oils.

What is Nan's Mental (Mindset), Emotional and Spiritual Interpretation of this Oil?

The benefits of Myrrh include the spiritual and emotional as well. Myrrh is very spiritual oil and has been used in religious ceremonies and rituals for over 5000 years!

Myrrh releases fears, difficult experiences as it relates to us or the world. It asks us to be more accepting, trusting and non-judgmental of ourselves.

When we can love and trust ourselves more, than we don’t attract situations that are as painful and we learn to integrate our physical with our spiritual being.

Because this oil opens the heart chakra and is uplifting to the mind, it can relieve stress and relax the body. Place on the heart to release this patterning and embrace relationships (self and others).

What are the Safety Precautions? Only therapeutic grade essential oils should be used for best results. Because it is approved as a Food Additive (FA) and Flavoring Agent (FL) by the FDA, Myrrh Oil is readily available on the market in many different qualities.
