Myrrh is the resin that is frequently used in Ayurvedic medicine. Its primary therapeutic use in traditional formulas is for treatment of arthralgia, back pain, sciatica, and body pain. Modern studies show that its active components have potent anti-inflammatory action. However, a reason for its widespread use in other formulas is because it promotes digestion and alleviates accumulation, so it can be used in therapies for many diseases, including those that involve obesity, atherosclerosis, chronic phlegm production (catarrh), and swelling of the mouth and throat. The analgesic action of myrrh is relied upon in many traditions from the Middle East through India to China.

To use as incense, which is the most common use of our product, put sand or ash in the bottom of the burner. Coat the bottom of the bowl with sand or ash as a heat conductor for the charcoal. Put a few charcoal bricks in your burner and light the edges, and then place the loose incense on top of the screen covering the burning coal. This will release the scent into the air. Loose incense requires maintenance to keep burning for a long period of time.
