Myrrh is a powerful antiseptic herb. It is ideal as a gargle or mouthwash for sore throats, mouth ulcers, gingivitis, oral thrush and dabbed onto spots and boils. It mixes well with 90% marigold tincture as an external lotion for fungal infections. If an alcohol free preparation is preferred, look under aromatic waters.External use only. Due to the very high alcohol content, a tincture may sting initially on inflamed mucosa. Dilute well or use the aromatic water. Avoid in pregnancy.
