Myrrh resin has been used medicinally since ancient times (its use is cited in sources dating back over 3,700 years). In addition to being burned to obtain aromatic fumigations, the ancient Egyptians used it in embalming processes as well as in the preparation of cosmetics and perfumes. Myrrh absolute is used as a fixative and as a fragrance component in perfumery and cosmetics. It is also used as a flavoring ingredient for beverages and foods.

Native to East Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, myrrh is a shrub that grows up to ten meters tall, with sturdy, gnarled branches, aromatic leaves, and small white flowers. The trunk exudes a natural oleoresin that, when solidified, takes on the appearance of reddish-brown tears known as "myrrh gum." To increase yield, harvesters make incisions in the tree's bark.
