Fresh "Suhul" Myrrh Resin

Sustainably Harvested in Somalia directly from co-op’s working to revive these ancient trees and offer it’s medicine.

Scent: Suhul Myrrh is sweeter than other types of Myrrh - beautifully fragrant + fresh, light + bright.

Gift of the Heart: The word "Suhul", has its roots in " Sahl" which means "Given freely" as opposed to the type of Myrrh that is collected after tapping the tree which is named "Sarac" Myrrh. It is the simple difference between something that is given and something that is taken. After the rainy season has ended, when the resin harvesters go visit the Myrrh trees, they collect the resin that the tree has already produced on its own. This is "Suhul" Myrrh-It is a gift from the Myrrh tree.

Astrology: Ruled by the Moon and the sign of Cancer, considered to be of feminine in nature, and has an affinity with water, ebb and flow and especially the fluid systems of our body where it helps to regulate and rebalance the digestive tract, oral cavity, and women's menses, when taken orally. (Frankincense is ruled by the Sun).

In some Somali Harvesting communities, Myrrh is harvested exclusively by the women. Frankincense which requires stripping and tapping of the tree is managed and harvested only by the men.

To Use: Place a small tear on a hot charcoal to burn its sacred smoke.
