Tales from Nature
Myrrh, a member of the resin family, is a shrub that lives in northeastern Africa, has a grayish bark and thorny branches. In summer, it produces numerous small, white flowers and nodules, from which a yellowish liquid gathers around the trunk. When the liquid solidifies, it turns into resin, namely Myrrh.
Myrrh is well known as one of the precious gifts that the Magi brought to Jesus. It was also used by the Egyptians during sun worship rites and in embalming processes.
Wealthier women used this paste as a powerful anti-wrinkle, as they still do in Africa and Arab countries. The Greeks also used myrrh in religious rites combined with wine.
