Myrrh

Commiphora myrrha

Myrrh is a gum resin which naturally exudes from the trunk of this member of the Burseraceae family, and is then distilled for the essential oil. Used in rejuvenating face masks during Egyptian times, and also for embalming. Mentioned in ancient history (about 1700 BC). When Joseph was sold by his brothers to the Ishmaelite caravan, their camels were carrying gum, balm and myrrh to Egypt. Myrrh is a hormonal oil and is said to be a sexual tonic.
