Myrrh

Description 

Myrrh essential oil is steam distilled from the resin of the Myrrh tree. Aromatically, Myrrh has a hot, smoky, herbaceous, woody, dry scent.
"Ancient records show that Myrrh was deemed so valuable that at times it was valued at its weight in gold. Myrrh essential oil 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 has powerful cleansing properties, especially for the mouth and throat. It is also soothing to the skin—promoting a smooth, youthful-looking complexion—and promotes emotional balance and well-being when used aromatically."
