Native to northeast Africa and the Arabian regions bordering the Red Sea, myrrh has been treasured for thousands of years. The ancient Egyptians used its rich, amber-hued resin in embalming rituals and sacred incense, while traders once valued it as highly as gold. Extracted from the tree’s bark, this aromatic resin was famously gifted to baby Jesus and has remained a symbol of reverence and healing throughout history. With its deep, earthy scent, myrrh essential oil is prized for enhancing meditation, enriching skincare rituals, and bringing a sense of grounding and balance to daily life.
