Guest guest Posted December 24, 2003 Report Share Posted December 24, 2003 On public television tonight on the three wiseman. One of the gifts that were given was Myrrh. It was very rare even at that time, made from only a couple of tree saps in the middle east. It was also worth three times more than gold. It was used for emboming, but it also had healing powers. The healing powers turned out to be an ANTIFUNGAL. The show also stated that myrrh was now being used to treat some forms of cancer. Now we know why it was so valuable. I guess they knew more in biblical times about the use of antifungals than modern medicince. You would figure after 2000+ years we would be more advanced.
