This plant is one of many uses and is one of the most ancient medicines known on record. Myrrh can be found in the Bible with the birth of Jesus the Christ as a present from the Wise Men. It has also been used by the Egyptians for embalming and perfumes. When Myrrh was not available the Commiphora species was used and would produce the same results. It has also been used to help relieve users of mouth and throat issues. Myrrh can be used on the skin to help with different conditions and alleviate skin problems. It can be used in a tincture, powder, essential oil, capsule, and even as a mouthwash. Research has been done around myrrh and the results have shown that it is a good treatment for getting rid of parasitic infections such as liver flukes and schistosomiasis. When myrrh is used in a mouthwash it is extremely bitter but it can help heal ulcers and sore throats. It can also be used for relieving acne and boils on the skin when applied regularly.
