Myrrh is a natural resin obtained from the bark of several Commiphora tree species, particularly Commiphora myrrha, which are native to parts of northeastern Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. The resin has been valued for thousands of years in traditional medicine, religious ceremonies, perfumes, and embalming practices. Today, myrrh is commonly available as capsules, tablets, powders, liquid extracts, tinctures, and essential oils, although supplements are intended for oral use while essential oils are generally used externally.
The therapeutic properties of myrrh are largely attributed to its rich mixture of naturally occurring compounds, including sesquiterpenes, terpenoids, volatile oils, and resin acids. Laboratory and animal studies suggest these compounds possess antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immune-modulating activities.
Today, myrrh supplements are primarily used to support oral health, digestive health, immune function, and the body's normal inflammatory response. Some people also take myrrh for respiratory wellness or general antioxidant support.
