Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Myrrh (Commiphora myrrha) has a long history of use in traditional medicine systems such as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Ayurveda, and various folk medicine traditions in the Middle East and Africa. Traditionally, myrrh has been used to address respiratory ailments, including coughs, bronchitis, and other conditions affecting the bronchial system. It was commonly administered as an incense, tincture, or decoction, with the belief that its aromatic and expectorant properties could help clear mucus and ease breathing.

Scientific evidence supporting myrrh's efficacy in supporting the bronchial system is limited. Some in vitro and animal studies have suggested that myrrh extracts possess anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, which could, in theory, provide benefit for respiratory tract infections. However, robust clinical trials in humans are lacking, and its direct effects on bronchial health have not been clearly established through modern research. Thus, while its traditional use for bronchial support is well-documented, current scientific validation is weak, and the evidence rating reflects this gap.
