Oil of Myrrh Commifora myrrha East Africa. Heavy warm base note. Apart from being a very reputable oil in the field of aromatherapy, it has plenty of medicinal uses too. Letâ??s look at the most common health benefits it has in stock for us. Inhibits Microbial Growth Myrrh essential oil does not allow microbes to grow or infect your system. It can be used to prevent many problems occurring due to microbial infections such as fever, food poisoning, cough and cold, mumps, measles, pox, and infection of wounds. It has no adverse side effects, unlike other antibiotics, such as weakening of liver or digestive malfunction. Astringent Properties Myrrh essential oil is an astringent, which means that it strengthens the gums and muscles, intestines, and other internal organs, and smoothens the skin. It also strengthens the grip of hair roots, thereby preventing hair loss. One more serious aspect of this astringent property is that it stops hemorrhaging in wounds. When this astringency makes the blood vessels contract and checks the flow of blood, it can stop you from losing too much blood when wounded. Relieves Cough Myrrh essential oil is good for cold and cough. It fights the viral infections that can cause them, as well as relieves congestion, and reduces the deposition of phlegm in the lungs and respiratory tracts.
