Folk Uses: Myrrh resin may be burned as incense for purification, exorcism, protection, and healing. Also, for funerary rites, connection with the ancestors and the underworld. 

Myrrh has long history as a favorite among the original indigenous people of Africa, going back to its first discovery in the far reaches of time. A native to Ethiopia and Somalia, it has been used as long ago as 3000 BCE by the ancient Kemites to embalm mummies, as the oils not only provide a nice scent but slow decay by killing bacteria and other microbes. 

Folk Medicinal Uses:  Traditionally used to treat skin wounds and infections; help treat some common parasites; used to treat oral infections. Promotes gut health; helps treat intestinal spasms related to irritable bowel syndrome and stomach ulcers. Myrrh is known to kill bacteria, as well as stimulate the immune system to make more white blood cells, which also kill bacteria.  

The fragrance helps create a feeling of peace and tranquility.  Burn when coping with loss-it helps heal the body, mind, and spirit after devastation.

It is often prepared as a tincture in herbal formulations.

Can be burned on charcoal disk or directly in fire. 

Contents: 2oz of wild crafted natural resin

The use of resin incense is sacred in many communities and deserves our respect. To avoid cultural appropriation, it should always be done with pure intentions, reverence, and deep gratitude to those who practiced this before us. Express gratitude to the spirit of the plant resin and give thanks to mother earth for nurturing it.
