Myrrh trees are native to Somalia, Ethiopia and South Africa. The dry and hot savannahs offer the ideal climatic conditions for the cultivation of this tree.
In the past, myrrh was used for the attention of the Gods. The gum was burned in churches to create a fumigation. Myrrh was also used to purify dwellings.

MYRRH TEARS
