Oil of the Week: Myrrh

To go with the energy of the week calling for quiet, stillness, and self-reflection I want to recommend an oil that can help facilitate those feelings but that can also support you in the quiet.

Myrrh essential oil (Commiphora myrrha) comes from the steam distillation or solvent extraction of the resin from the shrub of the same name.

Myrrh has a warming energy and supports inner peace and stillness when used. It can also provide relief for sorrow and grief my widowed friends. During this quiet it can also strengthen the link between the crown and base chakras.

Physically, myrrh is helpful with many skin-related afflictions as well as GI issues.

Good luck with getting quiet and being still this week. We can do it!
