Myrrh
Myrrh (Commiphora myrrha) is one of the oldest and most valued aromatic resins, treasured since antiquity for its rich, warm, and earthy aroma. Harvested in Somalia’s arid landscapes, Myrrh resin is collected by skilled harvesters who carefully tap wild Commiphora trees using traditional techniques. The gum-resin exudes naturally, hardens into reddish-brown tears, and is then hand-cleaned and graded for export. Renowned for its use in perfumery, incense, wellness, and traditional medicine, Myrrh carries both cultural and commercial significance. Younis Aroma ensures that every batch is sustainably harvested, fully traceable, and internationally compliant, making it a trusted source for global buyers.
