History of Myrrh

Myrrh has its origin in a small tree very common in the Middle East and northeast Africa, Commiphora myrrha, which produces a precious gum that has been sold for thousands of years.

Its aroma is deep and warm, at the same time, earthy and bitter, with some slightly sweet and spicy notes.

Since ancient times, one of the main energetic properties of this resin has been its use in incense burners to inspire prayer and meditation, in addition to strengthening and revitalizing the spirit. That is why inhaling its aroma is something so special and magical in spiritual practices, leaving the environment and people with a very renewed and balanced energy vibration.

Myrrh provides a state of complete relaxation, as its aroma is enveloping and healing, and it has properties that promote energetic alignment.

It is considered a lunar plant. It is also used to increase the properties of other elements with which it is mixed, promoting the flow of energy and helping in meditative and contemplative states.

Myrrh was considered of high economic value in ancient Egypt, and was also used to embalm the bodies of illustrious people who lived at that time.

Myrrh also had its influence during Greece and Ancient Rome, when the colonization of the Mediterranean Sea by the Greeks resulted in the development of a wealthy class of merchants.
