Help Promote Gut Health and Improve Digestion
Myrrh oil is used to relieve digestive problems such as indigestion and diarrhea.
In a study [19] with animals, it has been suggested that compounds present in myrrh can help treat intestinal spasms associated with irritable bowel syndrome. The wound-healing effect of myrrh may also be applied in the treatment of stomach ulcers, according to another study.
It is not yet clear how myrrh should be applied correctly to reap these benefits and further research is needed. Myrrh oil should not be taken orally as this can have toxic consequences in the wrong quantities.
