    Organic Sweet Myrrh essential oil

    Myrrh tree is a small thorny tree from the subtropical deserts, which produces an aromatic resin harvested by incising its trunk: just as frankincense is given to us by frankincense, it offers us myrrh. Present in all spiritualities, it was used in the composition of kyphi, a sacred perfume in ancient Egypt. Its essential oil, obtained by distillation, is amber-coloured and gives off balsamic, slightly bitter, sweet and enveloping fragrances.

    Quality Botanical family: Burseraceae Latin name: Commiphora myrrha or Commiphora molmol Other names: Balsam, Bitter Myrrh Origin: Somalia Cultivation: Controlled organic agriculture - Certisys-BE1 control Distilled part: Aromatic resin Production method: Steam distillation Quality: 100% pure, natural and chemotyped - Food grade Olfactory notes: warm, resinous, woody Main constituents Sesquiterpenes: furanoeudesma-1,3-diene (21.5%), curzerene (33.5%), lindestrene (7%), beta-elmene (9%), germacrene-B (3.6%) Note: When distilled, the resin gives an essential oil with a pasty consistency, which tends to congeal. Get rid of the dropper of your bottle, which would be inoperative to collect it and limit as much as possible the time of exposure to the air. Our opinion Tears of resin exude from its trunk and give off a protective aromatic aura that "cools" it at the height of the heat. It is the antidote to any "crossing of the desert"... literally and figuratively. Precautions for use • Not for use by pregnant or breastfeeding women or children under 7 years of age. • Essential oil potentially active on the thyroid (in case of hyperthyroidism). Ask a health professional for advice before use in case of thyroid pathology. • To be used on the advice of a health professional. • Possible irritations, dilute before use. Risk of allergy: take care not to overdose in mixtures. An elbow test is recommended prior to any skin application (min 48 hours before use). • Avoid contact with the eyes. • Keep out of reach of young children. • Store away from heat and light.
