The Myrrh and Aloe Ointment is a scented balm handcrafted by the Dominican nuns of Pratovecchio composed of essential oils of flowers, fruits and spices expertly mixed to obtain enveloping and harmonious fragrances.
Myrrh is a resin produced by a small, sturdy tree that shares the same name. It grows to no more than nine feet tall and inhabits semi-arid regions of Africa and Asia. A yellow liquid naturally flows from cracks and cuts in the tree trunk, settling into brownish-red pieces called "gum." Steam distillation is used to extract the essential oil from this gum.
Myrrh has a spicy, amber and earthy aroma that adds a warm and decadent note to perfumes. It has been used since ancient times to inspire prayer and meditation, and to fortify and revitalize the spirit.
aloe has delicate olfactory notes that remain in the environment for a long time: a panacea for the body and mind. She is light, almost transparent, and remains in the environment for a long time, releasing pleasant green notes that recall the freshness of the plant. Its unique fragrance helps release daily stress and relax the mind.
