Myrrh
when one thinks of Myrrh, we often think of the wise kings that brought frankincense and Myrrh to baby jesus. or, an incense being burned in churches, or by some pagan rituals...
however, being steeped in its history, myrrh has many great medicinal properties:

Frankincense and myrrh are from the same plant family (Burseraceae)
Health Benefits: Anti-septic, anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory, anti-depressant, anti-microbial and anti-viral, astringent, expectorant, stimulant, carminative, stomachic, anti catarrhal, diaphoretic, vulnerary, anti-spasmodic, immune booster, improves circulation, body tonic.
Uses:
works as a sedative, for spiritual opening, stimulating thought
◾heals wounds (essentially those of a ‘weeping’ nature), protects against infection and promotes healing
◾skin diseases (eczema, ringworm, etc.)
◾soothes cracked and chapped skin, fades scars and other spots
◾used during and before meditation to align energy centers and encourage healing
◾used in gum and mouth (ulcer) preparations
◾stimulates uterine health and helps to normalize menstruation, relieves contractions or spasms (cramps, aches etc.)
◾relieves gas and diarrhea, improves stomach health, treats pyorrhea
◾strengthens and activates the immune system, prevents/helps microbial infection (fever, food poisoning, cough, cold, mumps, measles, chicken poxs etc.)
◾strengthens the gums’ hold on teeth (contracts skin), firms the scalp’s grip on hair roots
◾protects against coughs and colds (viral infections), provides relief from mucus and phlegm, eases congestion, breathing trouble, etc.
◾works as a fungicide
◾stimulates blood circulation, digestion and nerves, increases sweat to purify body
◾And more!
Words of Caution: Myrrh oil can have toxic effects if used in excess. It should be avoided during pregnancy due to its stimulating nature.
What interested me, was that one breast enhancement cream (listed in separate post, claims that myrrh helps increase fat (more research needed)
