The myrrh tree (Commiphora myrrha) is endemic to the western region of Somalia. The desert-like extreme conditions of the open Acacia, Commiphora scrubland, characterised by heat and drought, cause the development of its natural ingredients such as curcerenes, furanoeudesma-1,3-dienes, lindestrenes and beta-elements. The valuable resin is periodically harvested by hand from the gnarled trunks by experienced collectors. The resin is gently distilled with steam to produce this very aromatic essential oil. The long experience, the special production process and the passion of the distillers are evident in the authentic flavour of this myrrh oil.

This essential oil is sourced from a renowned and certified producer based in Valréas in northern Provence, France. The company was founded in 1980 and owns several essential oil plantations and farms all over the world. The origin and quality of the plants are well documented, and the company ensures that the highest standards are maintained and works professionally and passionately to produce excellent essential oils.

The oils are produced from freshly harvested plant materials via steam distillation. The experienced producers use a very gentle distillation method with low water pressure, which allows for the near complete extraction of the plants' valuable phytochemicals. Their products are certified organic according to French EcoCert standards.

The myrrh tree (Commiphora myrrha) belongs to the balsam tree family (Burseraceae) and originally comes from eastern Africa, such as Yemen, Ethiopia and Somalia. The shrub or squat tree grows up to four metres tall and thrives on barren, sandy soils, forming small leathery leaves on its thorny branches. Delicate pink to yellow-coloured flowers grow before the rainy season, from which fruits develop after fertilisation. The liquid, less aromatic exudate emerges spontaneously from the bark, producing the hard, translucent, yellowish gum resin. Even in ancient times, the fragrant resin was highly sought after as an incense and perfume alongside frankincense.

The resinous-smoky aroma helps identify blockages and access our inner wisdom. Gives inner peace and confidence.
