Essential Oils of the Bible: Myrrh

Now let's talk about Myrrh. It is an oil mentioned more than 156 times in the Bible and was used as a spice in ancient times, a natural remedy, very valuable for purifying the dead. And its best-known use was as a gift from the Magi to Jesus Christ, along with Frankincense, which we have already studied prior, and gold.

This essential oil is wonderful for the skin, helping to bring a more radiant and even complexion to the face. Always remember to dilute it with a neutral vegetable oil for more sensitive areas of the body.

This is an oil also widely used to balance emotions and before rituals in general, whether prayer or meditation. It was widely used by Queen Esther for beauty treatments. It was also a natural sunscreen, so we can protect ourselves from ultraviolet rays. Myrrh is also wonderful for skin blemishes, its aroma is wonderful, earthy and I believe that it pleases most people.

When we mention the spiritual connection, Myrrh brings these benefits: it acts on the spiritual connection with God during prayer and meditation. It is an oil with a very high vibration, and some oils stand out, like Myrrh and Frankincense. Myrrh has an anti-inflammatory property that we often use for wounds, healing, and relieving herpes problems, mouth irritations, and dental treatments in an inflammatory process. It can be used to rinse your mouth to maintain healthy gums because it fights unwanted microorganisms in this area of the mouth and also has antitumoral properties, just like Frankincense.

Let's analyze the emotional aspects of Myrrh. It reflects the relationship with Mother Earth and Frankincense with the Divine Father. This brings a balance so that we are connected to our planet, with the Earth, and with the Divine, bringing us feelings of security and trust in the world so that you can have this connection and be more in the present moment.

One of the most recommended places to use Myrrh essential oil is the lower back, at the base of the spine. It's like the bond we have with our mother, this structure, this foundation of our life is our relationship with our mother represented by the base of the spine. This brings together the emotional side of people and creates a relationship, a fortress so we can project ourselves when going into the world. It brings security and confidence to us so we feel more loved and nourished. It's the maternal connection.

So if you need any of these aspects to protect that feeling of being loved and nourished, which is what we need as we come into this world, then Myrrh is essential in this process.
