Myrrh - 15ml

Description

Ancient records show that Myrrh was deemed so valuable that at times it was valued at its weight in gold. Myrrh essential oil is derived from the gummy resin of the small, thorny Myrrh tree and has been used for centuries for its internal and external health benefits. Myrrh has been used throughout history as a perfume, incense, and health aid. It was also employed in embalming and religious ceremonies. Myrrh is soothing to the skin when applied topically—promoting a smooth, youthful-looking complexion—and promotes emotional balance when used aromatically.
