A Swish with Myrrh

The name Myrrh actually means “bitter” in the Arabic language. Myrrh is well known throughout history to many cultures especially traditional Arabian healers, and up to the present day is one of the most recommended medicinal herbs in Arabia.

Myrrh is known to make a difference in the health of maintaining and combating gum disease and for healing mucous membranes, including in the throat, mouth, stomach, sinuses, esophagus, colon, and more, while at the same time being good for helping to rid the body of nasty lung ailments too, including the likes of pneumonia, bronchitis, allergy (including asthma and similar problems), and almost any other type of inflammatory disease. Myrrh helps to get the phlegm out of the lungs and sinuses too.
