Pedanius Dioscorides described the myrrh of the first century AD as most likely to refer to a "species of mimosa", describing it "like the Egyptian thorn". He describes its appearance and leaf structure as "spinnate-winged". [16] Other products that can be confused with myrrh [ edit ] Myrrh gum has often been claimed to reduce the symptoms of indigestion, ulcers, colds, cough, asthma, respiratory congestion, arthritis, and cancer. [10] Religious ritual [ edit ] In Ancient Egypt and Punt (Horn of Africa) [ edit ] Myrrh is mentioned as a rare perfume in several places in the Hebrew Bible. In Genesis 37:25, the traders to whom Jacob's sons sold their brother Joseph had " camels ... loaded with spices, balm, and myrrh," and Exodus 30:23–25 specifies that Moses was to use 500 shekels of liquid myrrh as a core ingredient of the sacred anointing oil.

I understood this to mean that one serving size contained 1000mg of Myrrh Gum. I was confused as to why the extract (2000mg) was higher than the equivalent raw gum (1000mg), and would have expected it to be reversed; e.g., 1000mg of extract being equivalent to 2000mg of raw gum. Perhaps this means that the total combined weight of the ethanol plus the 1000mg of Myrrh gum equaled 2000mL. Baral S, Cho DH, Pariyar R, et al.

Ancient Egyptians used myrrh and other essential oils to embalm mummies, as the oils not only provide a nice scent but also slow decay. Scientists now know this is because the oils kill bacteria and other microbes ( 5).When compared with natural healing, pharmacotherapeutic agents may be toxic, ineffective, contraindicated, or have serious side effects. Consequently, the use of natural remedies has been on the rise. 8, 17 A wide range of traditionally used alternative medicines has been reported in the literature. Many of these medicines are used for chronic diseases, such as chronic renal pathologies, diabetes mellitus, and cancer. 17– 20 Among health care professionals, 51% of physicians and nurses reported that they had used herbal medication. 21 Despite the widespread use of herbal remedies, physicians are not always aware of the remedies that their patients use. 8, 22 Additionally, herbs are frequently used concomitantly with conventional medications. 22 If a mouth ulcer is causing you pain or discomfort, speak to your pharmacist. They may be able to recommend a protective paste or a painkilling gel to ease your discomfort. These commonly create a barrier over the ulcer to allow it to heal and aim to reduce pain and inflammation while preventing infection. A study conducted at the Beni-Suef University in Egypt found that Myrrh can actually detoxify what the liver cannot – in particular, ammonia. When the liver cannot remove harmful substances sufficiently, they build up in the bloodstream. For example, ammonia, a by-product of protein digestion, needs to be converted into urea in the liver and eliminated via the kidneys. Accumulation of ammonia in the blood, called hyperammonaemia, is toxic to nerves and can lead to a decline of brain functions known as hepatic encephalopathy. al-Harbi MM, Qureshi S, Raza M, et al.
