Namibian Myrrh, traditionally known as Omumbiri, has been used for many years as a traditional perfume by the Himba women of the Namib Desert.

To produce Namibian Myrrh essential oil, the resin the plant secretes is steam distilled. This produces an essential oil with a clean and earthy smell.

Properties of Namibian Myrrh essential oil

Namibian Myrrh is both antibacterial and anti-inflammatory. It helps fight skin infections such as athlete’s foot, weeping eczema, bedsores, acne and boils. It is also excellent for oral health when used as a mouthwash or applied to the teeth and gums.

Being high in antioxidants, Namibian myrrh oil is very beneficial to the skin. For optimal results in the treatment of skin, it should be added to a hot bath or be massaged into the skin.

Namibian Myrrh can also positively affect emotions. It contains substances that have a positive effect on the hypothalamus, pituitary gland and amygdala. These components of the body produce hormones, thereby controlling emotions.

To gain these therapeutic benefits, a few drops of Namibian Myrrh essential oil can be dropped onto a cloth or tissue and inhaled. It can also be used in a diffuser or vaporiser.

Namibian Myrrh can also be used as a perfume, as it has been for many years by the Himba women of the Namib Desert.
