Support Skin Health

Myrrh can also be used for treating skin infections and wounds. When combined with other essential oils, the mixture can speed up wound healing. This benefit can be seen clearly in pregnant women with vaginal wounds after deliveries. Also, the presence of many antimicrobial properties also helps prevent skin infections. Some studies have shown that myrrh oil can actually inhibit the growth of many fungi that trigger skin issues, such as athlete’s foot and ringworm. You can try myrrh on your skin through diluted oils, soaps, or natural ointments. [4]
