沒藥對治療創傷的效果非常好, 它具備殺菌、治療和抗發炎的能力. 對於持久不癒的舊傷, 濕疹等皮膚症狀特別好. 在乳霜和護手霜中加點沒藥精油, 可治療凍裂和乾裂的皮膚. 更可保護雙手避免乾裂. 沒藥具有抗黴菌功能, 對治療香港腳更具成效. 亦可稀釋用作陰道灌洗液來治療陰道炎, 可迅速減輕發癢和其他不舒服的症狀, 不過, 這只適用於念珠菌引起的陰道炎.

沒藥對牙齦很有益處, 可以迅速治療口腔潰瘍和牙齦問題. 許多品牌的牙膏中都添加了沒藥的成分, 它用作按摩油或使用蒸汽吸入法, 可以減少過多黏液, 很適合治療胸腔感染、鼻喉黏膜炎、慢性支氣管炎、感冒和喉嚨痛. 亦是優良的肺部殺菌劑、袪痰劑和收斂劑. 但使用沒藥來洗芳香浴效果較差, 因為它非常難溶於水, 就算用油溶劑都不易溶解. 沒藥有調順整個消化系統和刺激胃部的功效, 也可以治療腹瀉, 只要稀釋以順時針方向按摩複部和胃部.

沒藥是粗糙而多刺的小樹, 樹幹上自然的裂口或人工的切口會流出液狀的樹脂, 這些樹脂會凝固成不規則狀的棕紅色塊狀物. 經由蒸餾法就可獲得精油. 在芳香療法中所用的沒藥多半是用溶劑直接萃取生樹脂而得. 沒藥精油的顏色從淺到深的琥珀色都有. 精油中的有效成份包括檸檬烯, 雙戊烯, 松油萜, 丁香酚, 肉桂醛, 杜松萜烯, 醋酸, 沒藥酸和各類樹脂. 它的樹脂和精油都具有溫熱而微苦的煙味, 而且非常黏稠厚重. 適合配合的精油有乳香, 薰衣草, 玫瑰草, 廣藿香, 玫瑰, 花梨木, 檀香, 茶樹和百里香等. 屬中揮發度精油.

Myrrh

Commiphora myrrha is a tree in the Burseraceae family. It is one of the primary trees used in the production of myrrh, a resin made from dried tree sap. The tree is native to the Arabian peninsula (Oman, Yemen) and to Africa (Djibouti, Ethiopia, Somalia, Northeast Kenya).

Though classified as shrubs, Myrrh can grow up to 10 Meters in height. Native collectors make incisions into the trees in order to increase the yield.

Myrrh has been used for centuries as an ingredient in incense, perfumes, and for embalming and fumigations in Ancient Egypt. In folk tradition it was used for muscular pains and in rheumatic plasters. Called mo yao in China, it has been used since at least 600B.C. primarily as a wound herb and blood stimulant. Gerard said of Myrrh' the marvelous effects that it worked in new and green wounds were here too long to set down...' Myrrh oil, distilled from the resin, has been used since ancient Greek times to heal wounds.
