Myrrh is a sap-like substance (resin). It is extracted from a number of small, thorny tree species of the genus Commiphora. One can easily find them in Northern Africa and Middle East terrain, but it can be found in some western countries too.
 
This resin actually comes out of cuts in the bark of trees with a sweet, and smoky aroma. It has been used throughout the history as a medicine. Even in biblical times, it was used as a spice and natural remedy. In fact, in the New Testament, it's been mentioned that it is one of three gifts which three Wise Men brought to Jesus (PBUH).

Health Benefits of Myrrh
 
Myrrh can be used as a remedy for variety of ailments. Modern researchers have become interested in this resin because of its exceptional properties. For example, it is:

• Antimicrobial
• Antifungal
• Anti-inflammatory
• Immune booster
• Tonic
• Stimulant
• Expectorant
• Astringent
• Antiviral

 
On the whole, its value against diseases far outweighs gold and extends far beyond biblical role. Because, even the modern diseases like cancer can be prevented through it.
 
Several studies have confirmed that it doesn't just heal you physically. It works as sedative too for emotional and spiritual well being.

Anti-Cancer Benefits
 
A 2013 Chinese test tube study found that Myrrh extracts have the ability to destroy at least eight different kinds of cancer cells. They reduce the proliferation and replication of them.
 
Especially, against prostate and breast cancer, nothing beats the potency of them.
 
In March 2015, Oncology reports by Chinese researchers authenticated its effectiveness against cancer. They stated that phytochemical extracted from Myrrh resin have cytotoxic effects on prostate cancer cells. In a way, these extracts induce programmed cell death process (apoptosis) which is required to cure cancer.
 
There was another study from the Chinese scientists in the Journal of Acta Pharmacologica Sinica. It also confirmed the efficacy of this potent remedy, but in another way.
 
It revealed that the substance found in Myrrh, sesquiterpenes, inhibits androgen receptor signaling in human prostate cancer cells.
 
However, American researchers went a tad further in their research. They discovered six sesquiterpenes in myrrh resin. According to them, one of sesquiterpenes has cytotoxic activity against MCF-7 breast cancer cells too.

Pain Killer
 
History tells us that Myrrh has been used as a pain killer too. In reality, Traditional Chinese still use it for different kinds of pain, swelling, and stiffness.
 
In a letter to the Journal Nature, researchers from the University of Florence gave their reports. Their tests proved that the level of pain tolerance increases in those who count on Myrrh. It happens because of its analgesic effect.
 
This research was dependent on three sesquiterpenes from Myrrh. It showed that the sesquiterpenes of Myrrh actually affect opioid receptors in brain membranes which influence the perception of pain.
 
This explains why it's been used as a pain killer in ancient times.
 
When we canvass history, we come to know that from Greek physicians to Roman physicians, all prescribed Myrrh as pain reliever. They even recommended it for treating conditions ranging from battle wounds and skin inflammation to child birth.
 
Drug companies don't want you to know about this natural remedy. It is tough for them to make a profit out of something that is easily available.
 
That's the reason it is underrated and latent from people's knowledge.

Parasite Cleanser
 
Parasites are everywhere!
 
We all are susceptible to infection if we own pets, spend time in natural water resources, eat meat or unwashed food.
 
The main issue is parasites can live in the intestines for years without causing symptoms. That's why, it is immensely tough to opt for the 'actual' cause. However, scientists believe that poor sanitation and poor hygiene are the main cause of it.
 
Luckily, we have a natural, proven, and potent parasite cleanser - Myrrh.
 
It enhances the function of white blood cells. Besides, it also restores rates of the antioxidant enzyme known as glutathione. This protects the immune system and liver from the harmful effects of parasite.
 
In case it is a viral parasite, it can prevent its effects because of its antiviral activity too.
