Myrrh is a bitter, aromatic oleogum resin harvested from the thorny Commiphora myrrha tree native to the Arabian Peninsula and East Africa, traditionally burned as incense and used to promote oral health and wound healing. Its warm, complex aroma and astringent properties have made it a cornerstone of Ayurvedic and Islamic herbal medicine for addressing inflammation, poor circulation, and sluggish digestion.
