Myrrh Oil Uses and Benefits
Essential Oil Spotlight
Because of its versatility and effectiveness, myrrh has been valued
across many cultures for centuries. With countless applications,
myrrh was used anciently for everything from medicine to religious
purposes. Today, the resin extracted from the myrrh tree is
transformed into an herbaceous, woody essential oil that captures
all of the resin's effectiveness. Whether you want to promote
smooth, youthful-looking skin, promote emotional balance, or
cleanse the body, Myrrh oil is a useful addition to your essential oil
collection.
Myrrh oil is well-known for its ability to cleanse the mouth and throat.
To take advantage of the cleansing properties of Myrrh oil,
incorporate it into your daily oral hygiene routine. Add one or two
drops of Myrrh oil to your toothpaste when you want added
cleansing benefits. Or, for an effective mouth rinse, combine one
drop of Myrrh oil and two ounces of water. Gargle the rinse for 30
seconds for an extra clean feeling.
Another benefit of Myrrh oil is that it promotes a youthful-looking
complexion and offers a soothing sensation to the skin. To use Myrrh
oil for skin, consider adding one or two drops of the oil to your daily
lotion or moisturizer. By incorporating Myrrh oil into your skincare
routine, you can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and
wrinkles, especially when used daily.
In addition to its benefits for the skin, Myrrh oil can be helpful for
improving the health of your nails. If your cuticles are lacking
hydration, try the DIY Cuticle Cream to help give your nails the
moisture they need. This concoction can also be used on the
hands, lips, or any dry skin.
