Myrrh Essential Oil

Botanical name: Commiphora myrrha

Our organically crafted Myrrh Essential Oil is hydro-distilled from the wild-harvested resin of the Commiphora myrrha tree, found in the arid, sun-soaked regions of Somalia. This golden-hued oil carries a warm, earthy-sweet, and resinous aroma that is rich, grounding, and deeply meditative. Renowned for its fixative qualities, Myrrh is a timeless ingredient in both therapeutic aromatherapy and natural perfumery.

Botanical Origin & Sacred History

The Commiphora myrrha tree, with its thorny branches, aromatic leaves, and delicate white blossoms, produces a fragrant resin when its bark is naturally wounded. As this resin hardens, it forms the precious reddish-brown droplets known as Myrrh. With roots tracing back to ancient Egypt, India, and North Africa, Myrrh has been cherished for millennia across cultures and spiritual traditions.

Used in sacred rituals, embalming practices, and skincare remedies, Myrrh was a key component in the legendary Egyptian perfume Kyphi and a prized offering of the Magi. Its legacy is immortalized in sacred texts, including the Bible and the Quran, and its relevance endures today in both traditional medicine and modern wellness.
