Extracts (Myrrh) — The resin kills germs and stimulates macrophages (SKY). Extracts of C.
abyssinica stimulate phagocytosis in mice inoculated with Escherichia coli. Other species of
Commiphora have demonstrated antiaggregant, antioxidant, cardioprotective, hypocholesterolemic,
and hypotriglyceridemic activities suggesting the utility of these gums, like many other gums, in
preventing and moderating heart disease. And I kinda like the idea of a gum for a gum disease.
