Myrrh essential oil uses

Myrrh is believed to be a natural anti-inflammatory and often features in home remedies for pain and infection in the mouth. It’s no surprise that myrrh often appears in natural mouthwashes and toothpastes, and it’s the essential oil to add to a homemade gargling solution if you have a sore throat, mouth ulcer or toothache.

Myrrh is thought to have antibacterial properties, so it can help to fight infection and kill bacteria when applied topically. It’s often mixed with a carrier oil and applied to cuts and grazes to help promote healing and keep the area clean.

Myrrh may be distinctive, but it blends well with the right essential oils. Fellow spicy oils like sandalwood and frankincense work well to create a rich, warming fragrance – perfect for winter days.

For a fragrance with a floral twist, try blending myrrh essential oil with calming lavender or the playful aroma of jasmine. Myrrh also blends well with citrus scents, so add a few drops of lemon or sweet orange essential oil to your blend and enjoy a playful fragrance with a woody base.
