Therefore, patience is required.HOW TO LIQUEFY A THICK ESSENTIAL OIL- Warm the bottle in your hand. Sometimes, warming the bottle won't help, so tap the bottom of the bottle as this may help release the oil.If this doesn't work:- Place the bottle in a small Ziploc bag and squeeze out as much air as possible (to protect the label and prevent the bag from floating), then place the bag in a larger container of hot (not boiling) water to gently warm it for about 5 to 10 minutes. Voila, it's out of the dropper!- This procedure will need to be repeated each time before use as the oil will become thick again.- Avoid using a microwave as the oil may overheat and spoil.- Tips and tricks: You can remove the dropper and use a pipette to extract drops, or a toothpick or needle to extract the desired amount from the bottle.BOTANICAL NAME Commiphora myrrha (C. molmol)PART OF PLANT EXTRACTED ResinORIGIN KenyaCULTURAL WildCHEMOTYPE CURZERENEOTHER NAME Myrrh Tree, Balsam TreeEXTRACTION METHOD Steam distillationODOR Sweet, woody, and aromaticCOLOR Amber yellow to brown
