Rating (out of 5): 1

Commiphora—a genus that includes species such as Commiphora myrrha (myrrh)—has a long history of use in traditional medicine systems, particularly in Ayurvedic and Unani practices. Traditionally, commiphora resins have been valued for their purported calming and grounding properties, which are believed to help with emotional disturbances, including emotional sensitivity, anxiety, and stress. In these traditions, myrrh is sometimes used in incense or as an ingredient in herbal formulations intended to harmonize mood or reduce agitation. However, the evidence for these uses is largely anecdotal or based on historical texts, rather than on rigorous scientific studies.

Modern scientific research on commiphora has focused primarily on its anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antimicrobial properties. There are limited preclinical studies investigating its effects on the nervous system, such as minor sedative or anxiolytic effects in animal models, but these are not specifically linked to the treatment of emotional sensitivity in humans. No robust clinical trials have been conducted to validate the efficacy of commiphora for emotional sensitivity or related psychological conditions. Overall, the use of commiphora for supporting emotional sensitivity is based on traditional knowledge rather than scientific validation, and the quality of evidence supporting this use remains low.
