Myrrh

Myrrh is a shrub that can grow up to 30 feet high. Myrrh oil is created from resin that seeps from the wounded bark of the myrrh shrub. A clear or opaque, pale yellow liquid exudes from the punctured bark which quickly hardens to create the resin.

In Ancient Egypt it was used for embalming and fumigation, as well as used in incense and perfume. Myrrh was also said to be one of the gifts given to baby Jesus by the three wise men. In traditional Chinese medicine, Myrrh is said to benefit arthritic and circulation problems as well as help with menopause.
