Christy H. Mixed in with my frankincense and it's perfect.

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.
E
Elle Myrrh is really great for indigestion and upset stomach. I absolutely love the earthy faintly minty sweetness of the scent.
L
Laura A. I mix this with my Frankincense for the perfect earthy aroma after my shower. People at work think I smell amazing.

Anna M. 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.

Me13 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.

Small~Town~Girl 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 **** 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.
