Myrrh has not been shown to stimulate uterine contractions, but its traditional use as a menstruation promoter should serve as a red flag to pregnant women.
Large amounts may have violent laxative action and could cause the other symptoms the Eclectics described-sweating, nausea, vomiting, and accelerated heartbeat.
Myrrh is included in the Food and Drug Administration’s list of herbs generally regarded as safe. For otherwise healthy non-pregnant, non-nursing adults, myrrh is considered safe in amounts typically recommended.
Myrrh should be used in medicinal amounts only in consultation with your doctor. If myrrh causes minor discomforts, such as stomach upset or diarrhea, use less or stop using it. Let your doctor know if you experience unpleasant effects or if the symptoms for which the herb is being used do not improve significantly in two weeks.
If gum bleeding or tooth or gum pain persists longer than two weeks, consult a dentist.
Healing Drops from Trees
Myrrh is a large shrub or small tree that grows in the Middle East and Ethiopia and Somalia. A pale yellow oil drips from cuts in its dull gray bark and hardens to form teardrop-shaped nuggets of myrrh, which are powdered for use as a Healing herb.
