Description

Latin Name: Commiphora Myrrha

Common Names: African Myrrh, Herabol Myrrh, Somali Myrrhor, Common Myrrh.

Origin Country: Ethiopia

Commiphora Myrrha, commonly known as myrrh, is a resin harvested from the bark of the Commiphora tree, which is native to regions in East Africa, the Middle East, and parts of the Indian subcontinent. It belongs to Burseraceae family. The tree is well known for producing myrrh resin, a gum-like substance.  The resin is obtained by making incisions in the bark, allowing the sap to ooze out and harden into yellow-brown to reddish-brown lumps. These pieces are commonly called myrrh tears or myrrh gum resin. Myrrh is most commonly used as incense and in skincare products.

Put the glowing charcoal disc on a heatproof container or an incense burner designed to hold hot items. Once the charcoal is glowing, place fine cut / peas tears on top of the charcoal. The heat from the charcoal will cause the resin to melt and release aromatic smoke. Allow the resin to burn slowly, filling the room with a rich fragrance. You can add more resin as needed to keep the aroma going.

Storage: Store frankincense resin tears in an airtight glass or plastic container, keeping it in a cool, dry, and dark place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources to maintain its fragrance and integrity. To preserve its quality for a longer time, avoid exposure to moisture and ensure the container is tightly sealed after each use.
