MYRRH

Myrrh is a small, scrubby, spiny tree that is found in arid regions of the Middle East and North East Africa.  For several thousand years, the valuable gum it exudes was an important trade item for use in cosmetics and incense and to inspire prayer and medication.   Despite its bitter taste, this deep, amber-colored oil distilled from the gum is used in toothpastes and gum preparations as an antiseptic to heal mouth ulcers, gum inflammation and infection.

Cautions:  Due to it possibly increasing thyroid activity, do not use myrrh on a continuous basis if you have an overactive thyroid.  Any resins tend to be difficult to eliminate and can cause minor damage to the kidneys if taken internally over an extended period. Very high doses, taken over a long period of time can be dangerous. Do not exceed the recommended dose. Do not use if you are pregnant. Do not use if you have kidney disease, without first checking with the doctor. Myrrh is a uterine stimulant.
