History & Tradition

Myrrh’s history runs deep through sacred texts and trade routes alike. Once worth its weight in gold, it was prized by the ancient Egyptians for embalming and by the Hebrews and early Christians for consecration and anointing. Its smoke carried prayers skyward, believed to bridge the human and divine. In alchemical tradition, Myrrh symbolizes the process of internal purification — the transmutation of sorrow into stillness, and stillness into wisdom.

How to Use

Diffuser: 2–4 drops to deepen meditation or clear space of stagnation
Anointing: Dilute and apply to temples, heart center, or soles for grounding
Ritual: Pair with Frankincense for purification and consecration
Perfumery: Use as a base note to anchor and extend other aromas
Skincare: Add 1–2 drops to a carrier oil for rejuvenating skin blends

Safety & Precautions

Essential oils are the plant’s concentrated spirit. a single drop holds its will, wisdom, and a touch of wildness. You’re working with nature’s heavy artillery, not hobby supplies. Handle with care; reverence is the first safeguard. These are allies, not employees. Treat them accordingly. Use with both heart and mind. intuition for flow, education for form.

  • Dilute before skin contact. Mix with a carrier oil such as fractionated coconut oil.
    Trust me, “raw essence” sounds better than it feels.

  • Do not use undiluted (neat). The burn is real, and it’s not enlightenment.

  • Avoid eyes, mucous membranes, and broken skin. If contact occurs, dilute immediately with vegetable oil or milk. NEVER water first. Alchemy 101: oil and water have never agreed to a merger.

  • For external use only. If you can taste it, you’ve gone too far.

  • Store properly. Sunlight and heat speed oxidation…and explosions. Neither improves the aroma.

  • Photosensitivity warning: Citrus oils and sunlight don’t mix. Apply responsibly!
    Your skin is not a crème brûlée, and unless you’re auditioning as Toast, stay out of the sun for 24 hours.

  • Children, Pets, and Pregnancy: Small in size, high in absorption — please don’t turn them into experiments.

  • Discontinue use if redness, rash, or irritation occurs — your skin has entered the chat with performance feedback.
