Myrrh is an evergreen tree that is known for its medicinal value. It can be grown in Australia, Africa, India, and the Middle East.
A Myrrh tree is a small, thorny tree that produces aromatic resin, known as myrrh, which has been used for its fragrance and medicinal properties for centuries. The resin is harvested by making incisions in the bark of the tree, allowing the sap to ooze out and harden into tear-shaped droplets. Myrrh is commonly used in perfumes, incense, and traditional medicine.
