HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Myrrh Gum by L.A. Naturals

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Aug 27, 2026

What’s inside

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 1 active ingredient.

Myrrh Gum contains one active ingredient: selectively imported myrrh. It's delivered as a liquid formulation.

The product also includes grain alcohol and deionized water as inactive ingredients to carry and preserve it.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not assessable

This is a single-ingredient Myrrh product and its label doesn't state a use — see Myrrh's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The evidence for myrrh's effectiveness is limited. For schistosomiasis (a parasitic infection), it's rated likely ineffective.

For back pain, common cold, dental problems, and Crohn disease, we don't have enough reliable evidence to know whether it works. Cancer is also listed as insufficient evidence to rate.

If you're considering myrrh for a specific condition, check what the science actually shows for that use with your doctor or pharmacist.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Myrrh

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Myrrh's oral safety isn't well studied, so caution applies if you're swallowing it — most safety data comes from topical use or rinsing. When taken by mouth, it may cause diarrhea at doses of 2–4 grams.

Topical myrrh can trigger skin irritation (dermatitis). Myrrh is traditionally believed to stimulate the uterus and is rated likely unsafe in pregnancy; severe lower abdominal pain has been reported in a pregnant woman taking myrrh as prescribed by a traditional healer, and the pain stopped when she stopped the myrrh.

Safety information during breastfeeding is not on file.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Myrrh

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Myrrh.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 88 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

If you take antidiabetes medications (pills, insulin, or injectables) or warfarin, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this product — myrrh may lower your blood sugar too far or reduce your blood thinner's protective effect, both Moderate concerns.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Myrrh Gum may be worth considering if you're exploring traditional remedies, but the evidence for most common uses is thin. It's not recommended in pregnancy, and if you take diabetes drugs or warfarin, you'll want to clear it with your doctor or pharmacist first because it may affect how those medications work.

Discuss any questions about whether it's right for you with your own healthcare provider.

Myrrh Gum by L.A. Naturals: Common Questions

Does Myrrh Gum by L.A. Naturals interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Myrrh Gum has a known interaction with 88 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Myrrh Gum contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Can I take Myrrh Gum while pregnant?
No — myrrh is rated likely unsafe in pregnancy. It's traditionally thought to stimulate the uterus, and a case report documents severe abdominal pain in a pregnant woman taking it. Please talk with your doctor before considering it.
What side effects might I have?
Taken by mouth, myrrh may cause diarrhea at higher doses (2–4 grams). If you apply it to skin, it can trigger dermatitis (irritation). Oral safety isn't well studied, so short-term use is advised.
Is myrrh proven to work for colds or back pain?
Not yet. We don't have enough reliable evidence to say whether myrrh helps with either of those. It's rated likely ineffective for one parasitic infection (schistosomiasis), but for most other uses, the science just isn't there.
What's in this product besides myrrh?
Grain alcohol and deionized water — these are inactive ingredients that carry and preserve the myrrh in liquid form.
Why does myrrh interact with diabetes drugs and warfarin?
Lab and animal studies show myrrh may lower blood sugar on its own, so it could add to the effect of diabetes medications and push your levels too low. One patient's warfarin effectiveness dropped after taking a myrrh extract, suggesting it may speed up how your body clears that blood thinner.
