Number seven on our list of 12 healing herbs from the Bible is Myrrh

Mathew 2:11

Myrrh is a gum resin that comes from the bark of certain trees.

It has been mentioned severally in the Bible, including during the birth of Jesus, His death, and the purification of Queen Esther.

Myrrh was a common ingredient in the holy anointing oil for consecrating kings, priests, and the Tabernacle. It was also used for fragrance and for embalming dead bodies because it can kill bacteria and other microbes.

Today, myrrh oil is primarily used to fight infections as it can increase white blood cells that help the body fight infections and other diseases.

In medieval Europe myrrh was also regarded as rare and precious; but in modern commerce, it is of trifling value. Modern uses are chiefly as an ingredient in dentifrices, perfumes, and stimulating tonics and as a protective agent in pharmaceuticals. Myrrh has slight antiseptic, astringent, and carminative properties and has been employed medically as a carminative and in tinctures to relieve sore gums and mouth. The essential oil distilled from myrrh is a constituent of certain heavy perfumes.
