Myrrh Essential Oil: Grounding, Clarifying & Timeless
Smoky, sweet, and musky, Myrrh Essential Oil is one of the oldest known aromatics – treasured since ancient times for its grounding and clarifying qualities. Carefully distilled from the golden resin of the Commiphora shrub, sustainably sourced from Somaliland, this rich, resinous oil has long been valued not only for its role in sacred rituals but also for its soothing benefits to both mind and body.
Prized as a natural cleanser and a favourite in skincare, Myrrh is especially helpful for dry or damaged skin, where its restorative touch offers comfort and nourishment. Its deeply grounding aroma makes it a perfect oil for moments of reflection, evening relaxation, or when you want to create a sense of calm in your home.
Because of its naturally thick consistency, Myrrh can sometimes solidify – a sign of its pure resin origin. To make it easier to use, we’ve fitted this bottle with a wider dropper. You can also warm the bottle gently in your hands or place it in a bowl of warm water before blending.
A Brief History of Myrrh
Myrrh has been prized for thousands of years, often paired with Frankincense in rituals and ceremonies. Ancient Egyptians used it in skincare and perfumery, while traditional medicine valued it for its cleansing and healing properties. Even today, Myrrh is seen as a symbol of wisdom, renewal, and grounding – a bridge between the ancient and modern world.
