Profile - Myrrh
is the aromatic, gummy substance exuded by certain trees and shrubs
growing in eastern Africa and Arabia. Essential oil is produced by steam
distillation of the crude resin. There are ducts in the bark, and the
tissue between them breaks down, forming large cavities, which, with the
remaining ducts, becomes filled with a granular secretion which is
freely discharged when the bark is wounded, or from natural fissures. It
flows as a pale yellow liquid, but hardens to a reddish-brown mass,
being found in commerce in tears of many sizes, the average being that
of a walnut. The surface is rough and powdered, and the pieces are
brittle, with a granular fracture, semi-transparent, oily, and often
show whitish marks.
