Myrrh Resin and Myrrh Essential Oil are used within the food industry on the basis that Myrrh has been proven safe for ingestion. Myrrh is also used clinically and pharmacologically for the treatment of a wide array of conditions, largely owing to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antitumour activity.

A scientific study, published on the PubMed, National Institute of Health website, makes the following claim:

Frankincense and myrrh are widely used in clinics as a pair of herbs to obtain a synergistic effect for relieving pain.

There are many studies exploring the efficacy of Myrrh for the treatment of cancer. Another scientific study, published on the PubMed, National Institute of Health website, states:

For the treatment of diseases, especially chronic diseases, traditional natural drugs have more effective therapeutic advantages because of their multi-target and multi-channel characteristics. Among many traditional natural medicines, resins frankincense and myrrh have been proven to be effective in the treatment of inflammation and cancer.

Using Myrrh Resin

Myrrh Resin is best combined with Frankincense Resin at a ratio of eight parts Wild As The Wind Frankincense Resin and two parts Wild As The Wind Myrrh Resin.

This makes a ratio of 4:1.

Use a small amount of the combined gum at a time… the equivalent of two kernels of corn, or so.

Chewing the gum for ten to fifteen minutes a day allows for a slow release of the benefits.

Myrrh Dosage Rates

The following scientific study, published on the Science Direct website, provides dosage ratios for Myrrh for the treatment of parasitic infection.

The efficacy and adverse effects of myrrh and the most effective dosage schedule have been studied in 204 (169 men and 35 women) patients with schistosomiasis [aka: bilharzia, a disease caused by parasitic worms] aged 12–68 years and 20 healthy non-infected age- and sex-matched volunteers. The patients were divided into two groups: 86 patients with schistosomal colitis and 118 with hepatosplenic schistosomiasis; the latter were further divided into two subgroups—77 patients with compensated disease and 41 with decompensated disease. All but 12 had received one or more courses of praziquantel. The dosage of myrrh was 10 mg/kg/day for 3 days on an empty stomach 1 hour before breakfast. A second course of 10 mg/kg/day for 6 days was given to patients who still had living ova in rectal or colonic biopsy specimens. The response rate to a single course of myrrh was 92% in 187 patients. The cure rates were 91%, 94%, and 90% in patients with schistosomal colitis, compensated hepatosplenic schistosomiasis and decompensated hepatosplenic schistosomiasis respectively. The cure rate was less in patients who had previously taken praziquantel and in patients with impaired liver function.

Another scientific study, published on the PubMed, National Institute of Health website, entitled: Myrrh Essential Oil Mitigates Renal Ischemia/Reperfusion-Induced Injury, provides dosages for the successful treatment of several conditions with Myrrh Essential Oil.

Please note, Myrrh Essential Oil is a more concentrated form of Myrrh Resin.

pretreatment with myrrh essential oil (50 and 100 mg/kg) caused a reduction in lipid peroxidation (MDA), together with increases in SOD, CAT, and GPx enzymes’ activities and an increase in GSH content in renal tissue. All these results together indicate that myrrh deterred renal oxidative stress subsequent to renal I/R via augmenting antioxidant enzymes’ activities, GSH content, and lowering the level of MDA—in harmony with earlier reports which showed that Commiphora molmol attenuated oxidative stress in diverse diseases such as tilmicosin-induced cardiotoxicity, ethanol-induced gastric ulceration, acetic acid-induced ulcerative colitis, hyperammonemia, and diethylnitrosamine/phenobarbital-induced hepatocarcinogenesis, among other animal disease models.
