Myrrh can be a powerful antioxidant, a compound that fights oxidative damage.
Oxidative damage from free radicals contributes to aging and certain diseases.
A study of test tubes found that myrrh oil was more effective than vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant, in fighting free radicals.
Another study showed that myrrh oil helped protect the liver from oxidative damage caused by lead.
The ancient Egyptians used myrrh and other essential oils to put on mummies, as the oils not only provided a pleasant aroma but also slowed down the decomposition. Scientists now know that this is because oils kill bacteria and other germs.
In addition, in biblical times, myrrh incense - often in combination with frankincense - was burned in places of worship to help purify the air and prevent the spread of communicable diseases, including those caused by bacteria.
A recent study found that burning myrrh and frankincense incense reduced the number of bacteria in the air by 68%.
Due to its antimicrobial properties, it is traditionally used to treat oral infections and inflammation.
Some natural mouthwashes and toothpastes contain myrrh oil, which has been approved by the FDA for flavoring.
In addition, when people with Behcet's disease - an inflammatory disorder - used a mouthwash to treat painful sores four times a day for a week, 50% of them had complete pain and pain relief. 19% had complete healing of their mouth sores.
Test tube studies show that mouthwash containing myrrh oil can also help with gingivitis, which is an inflammation of the gums around your teeth due to plaque buildup.
Traditional uses of myrrh include healing wounds and skin infections.
A study of test tubes in human skin cells found that a mixture of myrrh-containing essential oil helped heal wounds.
Another study found that myrrh and other essential oils applied through baths helped mothers heal skin wounds from vaginal births.
A test tube study of 247 different combinations of essential oils found that myrrh oil mixed with sandalwood oil was particularly effective in killing germs that infect skin wounds.
In addition, myrrh oil inhibited 43-61% of the growth of five fungi that cause skin diseases, including the athlete's ring and foot.
Because of the risk of skin irritation, it is best to dilute myrrh oil in a carrier oil, such as almond or coconut oil. This also helps prevent the rapid evaporation of myrrh oil.
Generally, use 3-6 drops of essential oil per 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of carrier oil for adults. This is considered a 2-4% dilution. For children, use 1 drop of essential oil per 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of carrier oil, which is 1% dilution.
You can also add a drop or two of myrrh oil to a scented lotion or moisturizer before applying it to your skin. Some people add it to products used for massage.
Avoid applying oil to sensitive areas, including eyes and inner ears. Wash your hands with soapy water after handling essential oils to avoid accidental exposure to sensitive areas.You can add 3-4 drops of myrrh oil to a diffuser to distribute the oil as a fine mist in the ambient air.
If you do not have a diffuser, you can simply place a few drops of oil on a tissue or cloth and inhale periodically, or add a few drops to hot water and inhale the steam.
A simple trick is to apply a few drops to the cardboard inside a roll of toilet paper. When one uses it, a little perfume will be released.
Like other essential oils, myrrh oil is very concentrated, so you only need a few drops at a time. Avoid spreading it near babies and young children, as it is uncertain how much they will inhale and how safe.
In addition, no one should swallow myrrh oil, as it may be toxic.
Pregnancy and breast-feeding: Avoid myrrh oil if you are pregnant, as it may cause uterine contractions and may cause miscarriage. Also, avoid if you are breast-feeding, as the safety of your baby is not known.
Blood-thinning medicines: Do not use myrrh if you are taking blood thinners, such as warfarin, as it may reduce their effectiveness.
Heart problems: Large amounts of myrrh can affect your heart rate, so use myrrh oil carefully if you have heart disease.
