Myrrh resin (Commiphora myrrha (Nees) Engl.) Lab-proven Quality and Purity

Myrrh resin (Commiphora myrrha (Nees) Engl.) also known as Mo Yao,​ Mirra has been used traditionally for ages.

Myrrh was so valuable in ancient times that it was said to be equal to its weight in gold. It has been used as a perfume, incense, and medicine. It was used in Egypt to embalm mummies and remains well-known for preventing decay of teeth, wounds, and chronic skin conditions.

 In Greek mythology, Myrrh, daughter of the King of Syria was punished by Aphrodite who caused her to disguise herself and have incest with her father.  When her father discovered her he tried to kill her, but the gods intervened and turned her into a tree, with the resin said to be her tears. 

Known as the Balsam of Mecca, myrrh was one of the three gifts presented to the baby Jesus in the Christian Bible at his birth by the visiting Magi or wise men as a symbol of mortal life. To this day it is used in certain sacred ceremonies of the Catholic Church.  It has also been used in many other religious ceremonies throughout the Western and Eastern worlds.
