Myrrh is native to northeastern Africa, where it grows as a large shrub or small tree in harsh desert conditions, with hot sun and little water. The plant's leaves are obovate. The branches are spiny, and a pale yellow oil exudes from the tree when its dull gray bark is cut.

Myrrh is not generally considered edible. It was used as a wine preservative in ancient times and is still used today to make the Italian alcoholic beverage Fernet Branca.

Myrrh is famous as one of the gifts of the Magi to the infant Christ, along with Frankincense and Gold. Incense from ancient Egypt, known as kyphi, contained Myrrh and is said to have been used by Moses in making holy oil to anoint priests. Burning Myrrh is used to enhance meditation, dispel negative energy, elevate vibrations, heal emotional wounds, sanctify objects such as holy books, amulets and bibles. Myrrh is commonly used in perfumery and is also burned as incense, in which it repels mosquitoes and is said to promote peace, enhance meditation, dispel negative energy, and heal emotional wounds.
