For example, Melissa is commonly only steeped for 24 hours so as to extract more of the volatile oil compounds and less of the tannins. Previous studies have indicated that myrrh acts as an antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, and a circulatory and immune system stimulant. 3– 5, 11, 12 It has also been shown to stimulate plasma cell production and induce angiogenesis and, therefore, remodeling within 7 days of an injury occurring. 27, 28 Accordingly, myrrh may be potentially useful in the induction of wound healing and repair.

In 2017, scientists published results suggesting that frankincense and myrrh might help relieve neuropathic pain, following positive results when treating pain in mice with a water extraction of frankincense and myrrh. Rheumatoid arthritis The utilization of herbs for medicinal purposes has dramatically increased worldwide. Further research is required to clearly determine the various properties of these herbs, their optimal doses, forms, and their adverse effects and toxicity. Other factors should be also considered, such as the type, size, and location of the wound, as well as vascular supply, infection, and other conditions that might complicate the healing process.Dalby, Andrew (2003).

Some people should be especially cautious with myrrh oil and may need to avoid it entirely. Bear this in mind if any of the following conditions apply to you ( 45, 47): Myrrh gum is commonly harvested from the species Commiphora myrrha. Another commonly used name, Commiphora molmol, [4] is now considered a synonym for Commiphora myrrha. [5]

Even though myrrh is popularly used in Saudi Arabia as a topical remedy (mouthwash) for healing and treatment of infection, it should be used with caution. Prolonged use of myrrh in high concentrations on open wounds, which is how it is commonly used by Saudis, should be avoided because of its toxicity and inflammation-inducing properties. The overuse of myrrh may also trigger unregulated inflammation, which could result in poor healing of wounds. Myrrh use should thus be regulated. In general, all herbs and/or drugs should be sold with information about the risk of drug interactions, side effects, and toxicity. Several researchers have discussed the use of myrrh in the treatment of ulcers, schistosoma, fasciolopsis, respiratory catarrh, furunculosis, diabetes, and topically for wounds and abrasions. 8– 13 C. molmol executes its antimicrobial action by stimulating the production of white blood cells and by its direct antimicrobial properties. 3– 5, 11, 12, 14 Myrrh acts as an antimicrobial and antifungal healing tonic and stimulant; it also has carminative, anticatarrhal, expectorant, diaphoretic, vulnerary, local antiseptic, immune stimulant, circulatory stimulant, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, deodorizing, and astringent properties, and is has even been known to exhibit anti-tumor properties. 3– 5, 11, 12, 14, 16 In animals, myrrh exhibits antipyretic and hypoglycemic effects as well as protection against the development of gastric ulcers. 5, 10, 15 It is known to stimulate uterine tone and promote uterine blood flow. 5 CONDITIONS OF USE AND IMPORTANT INFORMATION: This information is meant to supplement, not replace advice from your doctor or healthcare provider and is not meant to cover all possible uses, precautions, interactions or adverse effects.

Lichen planus (an inflammatory condition that appears as a rash on the inside of your mouth and other parts of the body) If a mouth ulcer is causing you pain or discomfort, speak to your pharmacist. They may be able to recommend a protective paste or a painkilling gel to ease your discomfort. These commonly create a barrier over the ulcer to allow it to heal and aim to reduce pain and inflammation while preventing infection. A small 3-month study was conducted to assess the effects of myrrh on fascioliasis. The study included 7 patients between 10 and 41 years of age with confirmed fascioliasis as well as 10 healthy subjects with a negative stool analysis. All infected patients passed Fasciola eggs in the stool, with an average egg load of 36±5 eggs/g of stool. All participants were given a formulation of myrrh at a dose of 12 mg/kg/day for 6 consecutive days on an empty stomach in the morning. By completion of therapy, the average egg count in fascioliasis patients had decreased to 6±2 eggs/g of stool. Eggs had completely disappeared within 3 weeks following treatment and remained eradicated up to the 3-month follow-up. No adverse reactions were reported.

Mouth ulcers usually affect the inside of the lips and cheeks, but they can also appear on the tongue and gums. They appear as small, round or oval sores. They're usually off-white or pale yellow and the surrounding area is often red and inflamed. They can be flat or raised, and might grow in size before disappearing. Depending on where it is, a mouth ulcer can cause discomfort and a stinging pain when you eat, drink or brush your teeth. Your pharmacist may also recommend mouthwashes and lozenges that you can try. None of these can cure your ulcer, but may give you relief from the symptoms while it heals. Chen Y, Zhou C, Ge Z, et al.

Most mouth ulcers can be managed at home, without the need to visit your dentist or GP. Most of the time they'll heal on their own. Commiphora myrrha is native to Somalia, Oman, Yemen, Eritrea, Somali Region of Ethiopia and parts of Saudi Arabia. Meetiga, a trade name for Arabian myrrh, is more brittle and gummy than the Somali variety and does not have the latter's white markings. An additional benefit of myrrh is its antibacterial properties, since only the control animals showed bacterial colonization. A decrease in the incidence of wound sepsis with myrrh treatment may therefore be anticipated. This is of particular interest with the emergence of resistant bacterial strains. The use of myrrh may decrease wound morbidity, treatment costs, and health care requirements, and have a positive effect on healing. 29 Wound infection, however, may delay host defense and healing. 30 The use of topical antimicrobial agents, such as honey and essential oils, has been suggested for preventing wound infections as an alternative to antibiotics. 30 Myrrh could therefore be used as an adjunct to or a substitute for the currently used therapies. Limited clinical studies suggest myrrh is successful in treating wounds and ulcers, largely due to its anti-inflammatory qualities. In addition, myrrh has sufficient antioxidant and analgesic properties that provide additional benefits. Myrrh is useful as a topical agent to facilitate drying and provide wound cleansing.

A test-tube study found that stitches — especially silk ones — can degrade when exposed to myrrh, though they held up in the doses typically found in mouthwash ( 16).
