myrrh
Botanical name: Commiphora myrrha
Country of origin: Somaliland
Application: internal, external, aromatic
Why Somaliland?
Commiphora myrrha is native to Somaliland, where it has been harvested for generations.
How is it produced?
Myrrh is native to Africa and the Middle East and has been valued and used since ancient times. Throughout history, myrrh has been used for perfume, incense, and medicinal purposes.
Myrrh essential oil is obtained by steam distillation of the resin of the small, spiny myrrh tree. The tree has sturdy, slanting, thorny branches with few leaves. The resin comes from the tree's sap, which hardens and eventually turns a glossy, amber color. To extract the sap, harvesters make incisions in the tree, causing it to release the waxy sap or resin. These incisions are carefully controlled to ensure the trees remain healthy and can thrive for many years.
What does it smell like?
Myrrh oil has a deep, earthy, and warm fragrance with a slightly sweet, resinous note. It can also have a subtly spicy and balsamic character, which is often perceived as calming and relaxing. The scent of myrrh is frequently described as intense yet soothing, making it a popular oil in aromatherapy.

The synergy between essential oils and energy work
Essential oils are known not only for their pleasant fragrances but also for their ability to work on a subtle level . They possess a high energetic frequency that can influence the body's energy system. The vibrations of these oils can help release blockages in the energy body and harmonize the vibrations, which is crucial in many energy-based practices.
When working with energy centers , such as the chakras, essential oils act as amplifiers by stimulating specific vibrations and supporting the flow of energy. They can help open energy pathways and balance vibrations at a higher level, promoting deeper harmony between body and mind.
The use of essential oils in spiritual practices such as meditation, yoga, or Reiki can intensify the energetic process by raising energy levels and strengthening the connection to the higher self . The vibrations of essential oils support the natural flow of energy and help achieve a deeper spiritual opening. Through their specific influence on the energetic body, they promote the release of negative or stagnant energies that could block the natural flow.
Essential oils also help promote mental clarity and stabilize emotional balance by raising energetic vibration. They facilitate the achievement of focused, meditative states and support the healing process through the vibration of the subtle energy levels of the body.
How do you use essential oils in energy work?
To use essential oils in energy work, you can apply them in various ways to maximize their energetic effect. One of the simplest methods is inhalation , where you add a few drops of the oil to a diffuser or simply breathe in directly from the bottle. This helps to align the oil's vibrations directly with your energy body and promotes rapid energetic balancing.
You can also use essential oils topically by diluting them with a carrier oil and applying them to specific areas of the body, such as the wrists, neck, chest, or along the energy centers (chakras), to enhance their energetic effect. This is particularly helpful during chakra work or Reiki sessions, as it supports the flow of energy by harmonizing the oil's vibrations with your energetic system.
No matter how you use them, essential oils can help you promote energetic balance, release blockages, and deepen your energy work. And don't forget: your intention plays a vital role in your energy work with essential oils.
