Aroma
  • A rich, smoky, and bittersweet-balsamic aroma.
  • It is less "medicinal" and sweeter than African Myrrh.
  • It opens with a warm, earthy note and develops into a creamy, vanilla-like sweetness with a distinct spicy-musk undertone.
  • It smells like ancient temple incense—deeply resinous, "thick," and incredibly persistent

Common Usage Advanced Skin Repair & Oral Health

  • Healing "Weeping" Wounds: Exceptional for treating slow-to-heal wounds, "cracked" skin (especially on heels and knuckles), and bedsores.
  • Anti-Aging & Rejuvenation: Its powerful antioxidant properties help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and preserve a youthful complexion when added to a carrier oil from clubarome.com.
  • Gum & Mouth Care: Frequently used in natural oral hygiene to treat gingivitis, mouth ulcers (canker sores), and to strengthen receding gums.
  • Fungal Skin Infections: Highly effective against athlete's foot, ringworm, and fungal nail infections due to its potent antifungal nature.

Respiratory & Immune Defense

  • Clearing Deep Congestion: Acts as a powerful expectorant to help expel thick, stubborn mucus from the lungs during bronchitis or heavy colds.
  • Immune Stimulant: Helps fortify the body's natural defenses, particularly when the system is weakened by chronic infection or long-term stress.
  • Soothe Sore Throats: Used in gargles (highly diluted) or as a throat rub to reduce inflammation and fight viral/bacterial infections.

Emotional & Spiritual Well-being

  • Grounding for Meditation: Like Frankincense, it is a premier oil for spiritual practices, helping to still a "busy mind" and create a bridge between the physical and spiritual.
  • Overcoming Emotional "Coldness": Helps those who feel emotionally stuck, withdrawn, or unable to move forward from past traumas.
  • Calming Anxiety: Its deep, resinous scent provides a sense of profound stability and "holding" for those feeling ungrounded or fearful.
  • Quiet Reflection: Ideal for use during times of transition or grief, encouraging inner peace and quiet contemplation.

Digestive & Physical Support

  • Anti-Inflammatory for Joints: Provides deep relief for the inflammation associated with arthritis and rheumatism when used in a massage blend.
  • Digestive Tonic: Helps settle an upset stomach and supports the body’s ability to process and eliminate toxins.

Blending note
  • Himalayan Myrrh is a grounding base note.
  • It acts as a fixative, helping lighter top notes last longer while adding a deep, resinous "soul" to your blends
