Myrrh Gum

Myrrh has been directly to the mouth for soreness and swelling, inflamed gums (gingivitis), loose teeth, canker sores, bad breath, and chapped lips. It has also been used topically for hemorrhoids, bedsores, wounds, abrasions, and boils. In foods and beverages, myrrh is used as a flavoring component.
 
The magical properties of myrrh are often associated with purification and cleansing rituals.  Myrrh is also used for protection against negative energies and to protect against psychic attacks.  Often, myrrh is combined with frankincense in rituals related to banishing.
