Information:

Myrrh Essential Oil is sourced from the ancient lands of Egypt, where the unique climate and growing conditions create the ideal environment for producing this precious resin. Myrrh trees thrive in Egypt’s arid regions, particularly along the Red Sea coast and the Sinai Peninsula. The combination of sandy, well-drained soils, intense sunlight, and minimal rainfall allows these hardy trees to produce resin of exceptional quality and potency.

Myrrh has been treasured in Egypt for thousands of years, with its use dating back to the time of the pharaohs. It played a central role in religious rituals, medicinal practices, and embalming processes in ancient Egypt. Often burned as incense in temples, myrrh was believed to purify the air and invoke spiritual connection. It was also a key ingredient in ceremonial oils and was highly valued as a trade commodity, often considered more precious than gold.

Myrrh Essential Oil has a rich, warm, and slightly smoky aroma with earthy and resinous undertones. Its scent is grounding and calming, offering a sense of deep peace and tranquillity. This unique fragrance makes it a staple in meditation practices and spiritual rituals, as well as a prized ingredient in perfumery for its depth and complexity.
