Myrrh

Since biblical times, myrrh has been used for a variety of ailments, but is traditionally used for healing mouth sores/ulcers and promoting healthy menstruation in women. It is also often used in formulas for skin health. It has an earthy, wooden aroma, deeper than frankincense, which for some is particularly calming.
