One of the most utilized resins in the incense trade is myrrh (Commiphora myrrha) from Kenya. Harvested in Northern Kenya on Ogadain Land. One of the finest myrrh resins available and is used widely in incense, perfumes and herbal medicines.
This small scrubby tree from the Middle East and northeast Africa produces a precious gum which has been traded for thousands of years. In the Christian Bible, it is a gift to baby Jesus from the visiting Magi.
Myrrh has been used for centuries to inspire prayer and meditation. It has also been used to improve digestion and boost the immune system. Various traditions have used it to treat coughs, gum disease, wounds, candida and the treatment of skin diseases. This deep reddish-brown resin is especially important for oral health. Marinate in water for a few days in an enclosed container for use as a dental rinse. Also encourages circulation, simulates the immune system, and encourages a woman's natural cycle.

Review
I've ordered this item before and it's usually nice and fresh and moist but this last batch was very dry and crystally. Does not burn well at all. Love the product when it's fresh but not when it's dry as this last batch was.

For relief of exposed nerve in tooth
I boil a little bit of Myrrh in water, then swish and spit out the mixture. Usually takes 5 or 6 sips to permanently stops the pain of exposed nerves in my teeth. Instant relief.

Perfect
I wanted a clean and crisp myrhh for my frankincense and myrhh blend and this is it. This has that dry wine tartness and earth tones that'll will ground any frank you burn with it beautifully. Look no further.
