Description

Grounding, ancient, and profoundly calming, Myrrh essential oil has been treasured for thousands of years in ritual, medicine, and perfumery. Extracted from the resin of the Commiphora tree, this thick, amber-hued oil is revered for its skin-regenerating properties, emotional grounding effects, and powerful antimicrobial qualities. Whether used for healing or spiritual practice, Myrrh connects you to something timeless and sacred.

Benefits & Uses

  • Supports skin healing and regeneration—ideal for wounds, cracked skin, and mature complexions

  • Deeply grounding and meditative—encourages inner peace and spiritual clarity

  • Potent antimicrobial and antifungal properties—cleanses air and surfaces

  • May help soothe inflamed gums and support oral health when properly diluted

  • Traditionally used to ease congestion and respiratory discomfort

Active Components & How They Work

Myrrh’s effectiveness comes from a rich blend of furanoeudesma-1,3-diene, curzerene, and sesquiterpenes:

  • Furanoeudesma-1,3-diene: Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties

  • Curzerene: Naturally supports immune defense and has antimicrobial activity

  • Sesquiterpenes: Heavy molecules that calm the nervous system and promote emotional balance

These compounds also contribute to Myrrh’s rich, earthy scent and therapeutic depth.

Energetic, Spiritual & Symbolic Properties

Chakras: Root and Third Eye (stability, intuition, protection)
Color Correspondence: Deep Red / Indigo (grounding, inner wisdom)
Planetary Influence: Moon and Saturn (emotions, spiritual maturity, cycles of life and death)

Traditional Use: Burned as incense in temples and burial rituals across ancient Egypt, Greece, and the Middle East. Symbolic of purification, mourning, and divine connection.

Emotionally, Myrrh is used to anchor the spirit during times of grief, stress, or transformation. It helps clear emotional heaviness and promotes spiritual insight.

Blending & Compatibility

As a rich, resinous base note, Myrrh brings depth and longevity to blends. Pairs well with:

  • Frankincense – for spiritual clarity and emotional healing

  • Patchouli – enhances grounding and sensuality

  • Rose – adds heart-opening softness and emotional depth

  • Sandalwood – heightens meditative and sacred qualities

  • Skincare: Add 1 drop to facial oils or balms to support mature, dry, or irritated skin

  • Meditation Blend: Combine with Frankincense and Sandalwood for spiritual rituals or grounding practices

  • Oral Rinse (diluted): In very low concentrations and under expert guidance, Myrrh has been traditionally used to support gum health

Safety & Shelf Life

  • Shelf Life: 4–6 years (resin oils are naturally stable and long-lasting)

  • Kid Safe: Use with caution for children under 10

  • Pregnancy: Not recommended during pregnancy due to possible uterine-stimulating effects

  • Pets: Not advised around cats; diffuse in well-ventilated areas and allow pets to leave the room
