Wiki / Myrrh

Myrrh (from Commiphora myrrha and related species) is one of the best-known and most prized incense resins in human history. The dark brown to black resin has a deep, tart-bitter, slightly smoky and balsamic fragrance with a distinctive warmth.

Myrrh was as valuable as gold in antiquity. It was part of the gifts of the Three Wise Men, was used in Egyptian mummification and was indispensable in temple incense rituals. As an incense, myrrh is said to purify deeply, heal, protect and strengthen the connection with the divine. It accompanies transitions, grief and healing processes.

Use: Place resin granules on incense charcoal. Deep, powerful fragrance – a classic of incense practice.
