Myrrh essential oil is traditionally steam-distilled directly from myrrh resin. The oil has a milder and more pleasant smell than the actual resin, although some formulas are a bit strong. You can try making your own myrrh oil infusion at home.
Materials:
Myrrh resin
Olive or any vegetable carrier oil
Glass vial
Mason jar
Procedure:
Put a cup of the oil of your choice into a small saucepan, along with a quarter ounce (or seven grams) of myrrh resin to the oil. Set the heat to low, and allow the mixture to sit for six hours, occasionally stirring it.
Put the oil in a mason jar and put it in a place with direct sunlight, such as by a window, for up to two weeks.
Filter the oil to remove any residues.
Pour the myrrh oil into a glass vial.
