Myrrh Gum

Myrrh Gum is the sap-like resin produced by a thorny shrub in the Commiphora genus. When the bark of the tree is cut, the resin escapes in "tears" or small beads, which harden quickly and become glossy and amber-colored with age.

Dried myrrh gum is highly fragrant and is used alone or in blends with other materials to create quality incense. It can also be ground to a powder and encapsulated to help with several conditions including lowering bad cholesterol.
