Origin & Extraction
Myrrh is a natural resin obtained from trees of the Commiphora genus, primarily found in regions of Northeast Africa (Somalia, Ethiopia) and the Arabian Peninsula. It is traditionally extracted through a process of tree bark tapping, where the resin is allowed to dry and harden into tear-like formations before being collected and steam distilled or solvent extracted.
