Essential Oil – Myrrh (Africa)

• A dark, smoky, and bittersweet-resinous aroma.
• Unlike the Himalayan variety, African Myrrh has a more pronounced medicinal and "rubbery" top note that is cool and slightly sharp.
• As it settles, it reveals a warm, woody, and balsamic heart with a faint licorice-like sweetness.
• It smells "ancient"—heavy, dry, and profoundly grounding

• Closing "Weeping" Wounds: It is the premier oil for slow-to-heal wounds, skin ulcers, and "wet" eczema that won't dry up.
• Repairing Cracked Skin: Exceptional for healing deep cracks on heels, knuckles, and fingertips, especially during harsh winter months.
• Fungal Defense: Highly effective against athlete’s foot, ringworm, and fungal nail infections when combined with a carrier oil from clubarome.com.
• Anti-Aging: Known for its ability to preserve skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of deep-set wrinkles and scars.

Oral & Throat Health

• Gum Strengthener: Widely used in natural dentistry to treat receding gums, gingivitis, and loose teeth.
• Mouth Ulcer Relief: Its antiseptic and "numbing" properties provide quick relief for canker sores and oral thrush.
• Sore Throat Tonic: When applied topically to the throat area (diluted), it helps reduce inflammation and fights the onset of viral infections.

Respiratory Decongestant

• Expelling Stubborn Mucus: Acts as a powerful expectorant, specifically for "heavy" chest congestion, bronchitis, and excess phlegm.
• Managing Viral Colds: Helps dry up a runny nose and reduces the duration of seasonal respiratory infections.
• Lung Support: Traditionally used to "strengthen" the lungs of those prone to chronic respiratory weakness.

Spiritual & Emotional Stability

• The "Bridge" Oil: Spiritually used to connect the base chakra with the crown, providing a sense of being both physically grounded and spiritually aware.
• Processing Grief: Helps individuals move through the "stuck" phases of grief, providing the emotional fortitude to accept change.
• Quieting the Mind: Its deep, resinous scent is ideal for deep meditation, helping to stop "circular thinking" and intrusive worries.

• Myrrh is a powerful emmenagogue and should not be used by expectant mothers.
• Because it is a resin-based oil, it is very viscous and can harden over time; you may need to warm the bottle in your hands to get the oil to drop
