Essential oil spotlight: Myrrh
Ancient records show myrrh was so valuable that it was worth its weight in gold. It’s been used for centuries in perfumes, religious ceremonies, and wellness practices because of its incredible benefits. Myrrh essential oil is derived from the gummy resin of a small, thorny tree, which is a relative of frankincense.. It has a warm, earthy, and somewhat sweet and smoky aroma.
The unique scent of Myrrh promotes an inviting environment. Historically used as religious incense, Myrrh is said to increase spiritual awareness and promote an inspiring, energetic atmosphere. It also supports oral hygiene and can soothe the mouth, gums, and throat.* Put one drop in two ounces of water and gargle for an effective mouth rinse. You can boost your dental routine by adding a drop of Myrrh to your toothpaste prior to brushing.
