Myrrh Resin

Myrrh Resin


‎Myrrh, costly since Bible times, has many uses. The Egyptians used it for embalming, and most cultures in Bible lands burned it as incense or used the essential oil, alone or in combinations, as a perfume, salve, or ointment. Medicinally, it may help regulate cholesterol and sugars in the blood. Myrrh shows analgesic activity in experiments on rats.
