Here's what I've got:

Myrrh (Commiphora myrrha): Germany's Commission E has endorsed

powdered myrrh for the treatment of mild inflammations of the mouth

and throat because it contains high amounts of tannins. Myrrh

improves digestion, diarrhea and immunity. It treats coughs, gum

disease, wounds, candida, overactive thyroid and scanty

menstruation. Used for: amenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, menopause, cough,

asthma, bronchitis, arthritis, rheumatism, traumatic injuries,

ulcerated surfaces, anemia, pyorrhea. Used to kill yeast (10

capsules daily).

Myrrh is used internally for stomach complaints, tonsillitis,

phayrngitis and gingivitis, and externally for ulcers, boils and

wounds. Acts directly and rapidly on peptic glands to increase

activity, in this way increasing digestion. Promotes absorption and

assimilation of nutrients. Good for obesity and diabetes. For inner

ear infections, combine equal parts of echinacea and mullein with one-

part myrrh to make a tea.

Increases circulation, stimulates flow of blood to capillaries.

Clears out mucus-clogged passages throughout the body. Antiseptic to

mucus membranes, regulates secretions of these tissues. Good for

glandular fever, fever symptoms like cold skin, weak pulse.

Research suggests that it can lower blood cholesterol levels.

In China, it is taken to move blood and relieve painful swellings.

For an infusion that might help prevent heart disease, use 1 teaspoon

of powdered herb per cup of boiling water. Steep 10 minutes. Drink

up to 2 cups a day. Myrrh tastes bitter and unpleasant. Add sugar,

honey and lemon or mix it into an herbal beverage blend to improve

flavor.
