There are a variety of essential oils on the market that you can purchase, but one type you may not have heard of is known as myrrh essential oil, which comes from the sap of the Commiphora myrrh tree. This oil can be used in many ways to benefit you. Below are three of these ways so you can decide if you would like to buy this essential oil for yourself or for someone else.

Used in Aromatherapy

Myrrh essential oil is highly fragrant and is often used in aromatherapy to help relieve the symptoms of coughs, congestion, colds, phlegm, and bronchitis. Using this oil along with traditional treatments may help you get over your sickness much quicker.

Inhaling the scent of this oil has also been known to help people feel better by lifting their moods, which can help relieve stress. 

Used for Hair

If your hair is not healthy and is dried out, myrrh essential oils can help with this. If your hair is dried out you may also be losing hair. Rubbing myrrh essential oils into your scalp will help strengthen your roots so you will not lose as much air. The scent that you smell when you rub myrrh essential oil onto your scalp can also help boost your energy and make you feel more alert.

To use the oil in this way, wet your hair and then put approximately a quarter-sized amount of oil into your palm and rub your palms together. Rub the oil in your hair, concentrating on your scalp. Let the oil stay on your hair and scalp for approximately five to ten minutes and then rinse thoroughly. You should then wash your hair as you normally do to remove any left-over oil that may be in your hair.

Used on Skin

Myrrh essential oil can also be used on your skin. For example, it can help fade blemishes and may help heal sores from acne that may be on your skin. It may help with sores you have from eczema and other skin problems.

When you put this essential oil onto your skin, it effectively removes all dirt and germs, leaving you with completely clean skin. The oil also moisturizes your skin, leaving it feeling very soft. Myrrh oil also helps tighten your skin, which can help diminish wrinkles and sagging. Put this oil onto chapped lips to help heal them. Put a few drops of oil onto your palm and rub the oil gently on your face using your fingertips.
