Note: oils extracted from bark, resins, roots of trees or plants will NOT work with a nebulizer because these oils are too thick and will cause clogging. Therefore, for inhalation, use these thicker essential oils ONLY with a diffuser. Read our FAQ page for the list of essential oils which are not recommended to use with a nebulizer.

Diffusion

Myrrh resin is famous throughout the world as one of the three gifts given to Jesus at birth and used in many religious ceremonies. The oil is made from the sap of the myrrh tree. Its composition is thick, and therefore is not suitable to be diffused with a nebulizer because it will cause clogging. However it can be enjoyed just as much be applying 1-2 drops to a fire log a few hours in advance of turning on the fire to let the oil soak into the log. When the log soaked with the Myrrh burns, the rich aroma of this precious wood will spread in the space immediately.

Relaxation: Myrrh oil is a powerful relaxant and can be diffused to partake of its benefits. Inhaling any essential oil releases its active components into the bloodstream, by means of the lungs. It can restore tranquility of mind when used in a diffuser.

Respiratory problems: inhaling the oil through diffusion helps unblock sinuses, ease cold symptoms and loosen chest mucus as it has expectorant properties.

Topical Application

Blood circulation: use a few drops of myrrh oil blended with a carrier oil to massage the body to improve blood circulation, and the immune system in general.

Digestion and excretion: the oil can provide much-need ease from the discomfort and inconvenience of issues such as indigestion and diarrhea. Massage some myrrh oil diluted with a carrier oil gently into the stomach and abdomen.

Antifungal: apply diluted oil to complaints such as athlete’s foot or ringworm to help kill fungus and promote healing.

Premature aging: oil can be used as an anti-aging treatment since it moisturizes rough, dry skin and helps maintain its elasticity. Apply it diluted in a carrier oil, coconut oil or moisturizing cream.

Oil Specific: avoid during pregnancy and nursing.

General: keep out of reach of children and pets. Not for internal use unless taken under the supervision or recommendation of an aromatherapist professional. Do not use undiluted on skin, eyes, or mucus membranes; it could cause allergic reactions. Always test first on a small portion of your skin. If you are pregnant, consult with a healthcare provider/ professional experienced with essential oils as some essential oil are less tolerated while others are well loved by pregnant women.

Storage and Handling:the shelf life of ESSENTIAL OILS is usually around 1 year after they're opened, and up to 2 years when unopened. All essential oils oxidize and are subject to lose their therapeutic value and aromatic quality in time. Essential oils benefit from proper storage and handling. Avoid keeping essential oils in a location that is prone to sudden temperature changes such as the bathroom or kitchen. Store them in a cool, dark place, away from heat and light.
