Myrrh Gum Powder
Part of our Herbs range, manufactured and exported by Arizone International LLP.
Myrrh Gum Powder is made from the dried aromatic resin of Commiphora myrrha, a thorny tree from the Horn of Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. Myrrh has been treasured for thousands of years as incense, perfume and medicine, and it remains an important ingredient in oral care, fragrance and traditional herbal preparations.
Arizone International supplies Myrrh Gum Powder and myrrh resin tears for oral-care and cosmetic brands, incense and fragrance makers, Ayurvedic and Unani companies, wholesalers and exporters.
An Ancient Treasure
Myrrh trees grow in dry, rocky regions of Somalia, Ethiopia, Kenya, Yemen and Oman. When the bark is cut, the tree releases a pale yellow resin that hardens into reddish-brown lumps, or "tears". Myrrh was used by the ancient Egyptians in embalming and incense, was traded along the ancient incense routes of Arabia, and is famously mentioned as one of the gifts brought by the Magi. The name comes from an Arabic word meaning "bitter", describing its taste.
Myrrh is closely related to guggul (Commiphora wightii) used in Ayurveda, but the two are different resins. In Ayurveda, myrrh is known as Bola or Rakta Bola.
What Myrrh Contains
- GumWater-soluble polysaccharides, making up a large share of the resin.
- ResinAlcohol-soluble compounds including triterpenes.
- Essential OilA small percentage, rich in furanosesquiterpenes such as furanoeudesma-1,3-diene and curzerene, which give myrrh its warm, balsamic, slightly medicinal scent.
Traditional and Modern Uses
Myrrh has a long tradition in mouth and gum care. Tincture of myrrh has been used in European pharmacies for mouth ulcers and sore gums, and myrrh is still found in some toothpastes and mouthwashes. In perfumery, it is a classic warm base note. It is also burnt as incense in churches and homes.
