Davina offers high quality essential oils for fraction of costs compare to big brands. Not only the oil is great, I like their bottling also with super drops and product name on the cap. I take this Myrrh and Frankincense in a capsule daily for general health. There are a lot of studies done and shows that these two have shown the effectiveness with Cancer patience. I highly recommend.

Absolutely LOVE this beautiful Myrrh Resin (Commiphora myrrha) Essential Oil from Ethiopa. Besides being a lovely addition to a Christmas blend with its history and meaning, I actually use this more often to rub on my throat when my throat is sore or if I have to be in a big group of people. Myrrh opens the throat chakra, making it easier to speak in public or be in a large group of people. It can help you find your voice and it really does help my sore throat, which is why I purchased this bottle.
I only recently (in the last six months, perhaps) came across Davina Brand of Essential Oils and I am so happy our paths crossed. I have been super happy with the quality and this Myrrh Essential Oil is no exception. I plan on adding more to my rather ridiculously huge supply of essential oils as I need them. I really like that Davina Essential Oils come in thick amber glass bottles with easy-to-dispense orifice reducers in place, which allows me to dispense just one drop at a time right up to as much as is necessary for my use. This Myrrh Essential Oil arrived with its own built-in tamper-proof plastic ring seal around the bottom of the lid, ensuring me that I had received a pure and untampered with product. The label contains all of the pertinent information, such as ingredients (Myrrh Resin Essential Oil), uses, cautions, company information, and seals earned. I like that the actual botanical variety of the oil is listed on the front of the bottle, not just the common name (as well as where it was grown), so I know exactly what I am using. It gives me peace of mind that Davina has all their Essential Oils third party tested.Also, I store my essential oils in a box, so I love that these come with the label on the top for easy identification and use.

This brand is my favorite essential oil…It is clean and pure…passed the white paper test and the most important test which is me….I have had no bad reactions and the smell is excactly what is suppose to be…anyone who tries this will not be disappointed….
Casandra L. –
Love it, heard it works great for thyroid issues and so made some body wash
Sherry S. –
High quality. Great for meditation!
J. S. –
This oil seems very quality and is packaged extremely well. I was hesitant about a new brand but if you go straight to their website they list all third party testing done and results. I’ve used quality and not quality and I’m extremely impressed. I purchased myrrh, cedarwood atlas, Roman chamomile and oregano and I find that they all seems quality. Other brands In my 30 or so collection of oils I can compare to are doTERRA, Young living, Eden’s garden ( I would say these oils are all on equal footing and have third party testing to show it)

I really enjoy using this in my diffuser after a long 12 hour work day. It smells similar to a licorice which I am not too keen on but I like to mix it with different oils to make a more christmas like blend.
Laura A. –
I mix this with my Frankincense for the perfect earthy aroma after my shower. People at work think I smell amazing.
Elle –
Myrrh is really great for indigestion and upset stomach. I absolutely love the earthy faintly minty sweetness of the scent.
Reina –
All around favorite. I diffuse it with frankincense for that temple meditation feel. I adore the underlying sweet resinous smell of Myrrh. I use it as a remedy for nausea, gas, and indigestion mixed with fennel.
Christy H. –
Mixed in with my frankincense and it’s perfect.
Jazmin –
A must have oil. Works great with Frankincense.
