About the Plant:

The word "Myrrh" in Arabic and Hebrew is derived from "mur" which means bitter. The Myrrh bush produces a resin that oozes out of the plant as a thick pale-yellow liquid. When the liquid cools it hardens and turns reddish-brown forming tear-like shapes.  

Where it Grows:

The Myrrh bush is native to northeast Africa, southern Arabia, and southwest Asia.

Traditional Lore:

The humble Myrrh oil has a long and religious history. It's one of the oldest known essential oils - considered a treasure 4,000 years ago. It is mentioned in the Old and New Testaments, the Koran, and Greek and Roman textbooks. Here are some examples of how Myrrh has been used:

  • According to many Christian traditions, Myrrh, along with Frankincense and Gold, was given to baby Jesus as a gift and presented at Christ's death.
  • The Egyptians revered Myrrh and used it in their incense for religious ceremonies and for mummification. Egyptian women used it for skin care as well as a perfume.
