Commiphora myrrha
This one is from The “Ogaden,” a Somali region in Ethiopia.
Myrrh is an aromatic resin that comes from a number of small thorny tree species in the genus Commiphora. Myrrh is similar to the Frankincense species when the tree wound penetrates the bark the tree bleeds resin. These resins are wild-harvested meaning when an animal brushes up the tree the resins fall off and then it is collected.
Myrrh has a very bitter smell and taste but its' uses make up for it. It has been used for centuries for incense as well as natural medicine, and for may heal wounds.
It can be made into a tincture and used for any mouth issues. Pop a piece in your mouth when you have a toothache until you can get to the dentist.
I also sell it in granules, you can get it here:

My goal is to sell quality resins at an affordable price. Some of you know me as the Queen of Resins because of the knowledge I have from constantly studying these resins and the friendships I have created with those who sell and harvest these beautiful trees.
These resins are harvested by Fair Trade Standards only.
