BEWIT Myrrh Confusa

Also known as: Myrrh Confusa, Kenyan Frankincense

Like other myrrh essential oils, this precious species is valued for its beneficial effects on the skin, especially mature skin. It will give it softness, suppleness and overall refreshment, and will also help to fill in fine lines. It supports the renewal and regeneration of superficial imperfections and irritations.

It is also a suitable ingredient for mouthwashes, toothpastes or gargles for oral hygiene, in soaps and cleaning products. As a component of perfumes, it fixes scents and enhances a heavier oriental-floral character.

It may be useful if you need to soothe your respiratory tract, strengthen your digestive system and appetite, harmonise the feminine aspect of your body, or generally gain better resilience.

Myrrh is also an ancient aid in spiritual rituals and meditations. It facilitates relaxation, calms tension and nervousness, so it comes in handy when you are struggling with stress and emotional exhaustion.

It creates a pleasant combination with essential oils BEWIT Frankincense Carterii, BEWIT Sandalwood, BEWIT Geranium, BEWIT Cypress or BEWIT Red Mandarin.

Benefits

• Strengthens and regenerates
• Supports resilience
• Calms and relaxes

Different types of myrrh

Different types of myrrh have similar effects but differ in details and aroma. Myrrh confusa, sometimes referred to as Kenyan frankincense, is characterised by a deep and warm, sweetly herbaceous, resinous scent, with earthy and balsamic notes, which is more reminiscent of frankincense than myrrh.

The confusion is also caused by the myrrh tree Commiphora confusa itself, as this species is not easy to identify. It has different flowers on individual plants, as well as different colours and types of resin.

Support for feminine energy

Myrrh is traditionally considered an expression of feminine energy and has been used since ancient times in rituals associated with femininity and also at night, while frankincense represents masculine energy and is suitable during the day.

Caution during pregnancy and breastfeeding

The use of myrrh is not suitable during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Warning

Due to the content of terpenoids and other naturally occurring substances, essential oils obtained from resin dry out easily with prolonged contact with oxygen. A consequence and natural property of the product is the resinous coating that forms near the dropper and the neck of the essential oil bottle.

To prevent the formation of a resinous coating, thoroughly clean the dropper and its surroundings with a dry and clean tissue after each use of the essential oil. Then close the bottle tightly and store it in a dark and dry place.
