Gum Myrrh Siftings

Myrrh, also known as African myrrh, Somali myrrh, and common myrrh, is an aromatic resin that’s been loved for centuries. This resin, extracted from the sap of the myrrh tree, has deep roots in the Arabian Peninsula and Africa. Known as ‘mur’ in Arabic, meaning bitter, its oil is referred to as oleoresin or ‘Mur Makki’ due to its association with Mecca.

Gum myrrh siftings, a fine form of this yellow, fragrant resin, are acquired from cuts in the bark of Commiphora trees.
