Among the Bedouin of the Arabian Peninsula, myrrh resin is traditionally brewed as a decoction to relieve cough and sore throat; the resin is simmered in water for 15–20 minutes and the liquid is drunk as a warm tea (Al‑Khalifa et al., 2018). In Ethiopia, the Oromo people macerate small pieces of the resin in hot water to create a poultice for skin infections and wounds, applying the cooled mixture to the affected area (Kebede et al., 2019). In South Africa, the Zulu use a tincture of myrrh resin in 70 % ethanol to treat oral ulcers and as a mouthwash for gingivitis; the tincture is diluted 1:10 with water before use (Moyo et al., 2020).

A simple, safe preparation is a mild myrrh tea. Take 1 g of dried resin, crush it lightly, and steep it in 250 mL of boiling water for 10 minutes. Strain and sip the tea 2–3 times daily. Because myrrh contains potent terpenoids, limit intake to no more than 3 cups per day and avoid use during pregnancy or lactation unless supervised by a qualified practitioner.

The therapeutic effects of myrrh are largely attributed to its resinous terpenoids, especially α‑ and β‑humulene, and the sesquiterpene curzerene, which have documented anti‑inflammatory and antimicrobial activity. Modern studies confirm that these compounds inhibit bacterial growth and reduce inflammation in wound models, supporting the traditional use of myrrh for skin and oral infections. Myrrh remains available as a culinary spice, a traditional medicine, and a subject of ongoing pharmacological research.

General Uses Top

Suggest a correction!

Common products:
The primary commercial product is gum/resin (myrrh), collected by tapping from the bark and hardened into tears. The resin is processed into gum resinoid for fragrance applications and distilled to obtain myrrh essential oil.

Industrial and craft applications:
Gum resinoid is used as a fixative in fine fragrance and perfumery. The gum/resin functions as a binder and base material in incense formulations; its resinous, low-volatility composition supports slow, controlled combustion. The essential oil is employed in fragrance compounding.

Food and beverages (non-medicinal):
Resin/oleoresin and essential oil are used as flavoring substances in nonalcoholic beverages, liqueurs and bitters, confectionery, and baked goods. These uses are supported by regulatory flavoring listings (U.S. FEMA GRAS; EU Flavouring Regulation Annex I).

Colorants and tanning:
Myrrh is not a primary industrial tannin source and has limited role as a colorants or tanning agent.

Wood and fiber:
Wood of Commiphora myrrha is locally used for fuel and small craft items; commercial timber and fiber products are not documented.

Fragrance and cosmetics:
Gum resinoid and essential oil are used in perfumes and cosmetics as fragrance ingredients. The fixative effect arises from sesquiterpene-rich composition that reduces evaporation rate. Myrrh is listed by IFRA as a fragrance material with associated standards governing use and allergen labeling.

Properties relevant to use:
The gum/resin is a mixture of polysaccharides and resin acids, giving high stickiness and cohesion suitable for incense binders. Myrrh essential oil is rich in sesquiterpenes (e.g., lindestrene, curzerene) with low volatility, supporting fixative performance in fragrance systems. The oleoresin/essential oil provide characteristic warm, balsamic odor and flavor profiles suitable for flavor and fragrance uses.

Standards and regulation:
Flavor uses comply with FEMA GRAS listings and EU Flavouring Regulation Annex I for authorized flavoring substances. Fragrance uses are governed by IFRA Standards and applicable allergen labeling requirements. No national timber/fiber or biofuels standards are applicable.

Sustainability and sourcing:
Myrrh is wild-harvested across arid regions of the Horn of Africa and Arabian Peninsula. Demand has been associated with localized depletion and habitat pressure. Sustainable and ethical harvesting practices, community-based management, and certification programs are promoted to support regeneration and avoid overharvest.
