Evidence notes
While myrrh has traditional use spanning centuries and in-vitro/animal studies support anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial activity, human clinical trials are sparse. Supercritical CO2 extraction with standardization to furanodienones improves consistency, but evidence-grade remains moderate due to limited RCT data in humans.
Grade C: Mostly observational or small trials; mechanism is plausible but unproven at scale.
