| Abstract:
|
Myrrh is the resin derived from the branches and stems of a tree, known as Commiphora myrrha. It is Native to East/Northeast Africa, Southwest Asia (particularly Ethiopia, Somalia, and Kenya) and Arabia, Myrrha is usually imported as gum. Myrrha is considered as herbal medicine, myrrh, an oleo-reddish-brown gum resin, has a valuable role. After making incisions in the stem of the plant, causing oleoresin to exude and dry, it is extracted from the medicinal plant Commiphora myrrha. Pharmacological research has indicated that myrrh has analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antimicrobial, immunomodulatory, and hepatoprotective functions. The word Myrrh is derived from the Arabic "murr" meaning bitter, and its functions have been documented in the writings of Hippocrates since the time of ancient Rome. This material is marketed worldwide as a pharmaceutical plant, and customers purchase it because of its multiple benefits, having been licensed by the Food and Drug Admiration (FDA) for food use. In Arabia, Somali land, India, Ethiopia, Abyssinia, and to some degree in Northern Kenya, the tropical tree, Commiphora myrrha, grows. The use of myrrh in the treatment of pulmonary problems such as respiratory infections, in particular asthma, chronic cough, diphtheria, pharyngitis, tonsillitis, common cold, and bronchitis, and in gastrointestinal and genitourinary disorders has been identified by many Chinese, Unani, and Arabic physicians since 600 AD. The focus of this review is the immunoregulatory potential of the bioactive components of Commiphora myrrha and their efficacy in reducing inflammation risk.
