These compounds give myrrh its depth, staying power and characteristic richness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1466\" data-end=\"1775\"\u003eMore fluid or runny myrrh oils on the market are often diluted, fractionated or blended with solvents to improve pourability. While this makes them easier to handle, it also alters the oil’s natural composition. The thickness of this oil is a clear sign that it has not been synthetically modified or thinned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1777\" data-end=\"1927\"\u003eChanges in temperature can also affect consistency. In cooler conditions, myrrh can become almost solid, while warmer temperatures make it more fluid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"1929\" data-end=\"1932\"\u003e\n\u003ch1 data-start=\"1934\" data-end=\"1982\"\u003eHow to Make Myrrh Essential Oil Easier to Pour\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1984\" data-end=\"2069\"\u003eTo soften myrrh oil and make it easier to use, gently warm the bottle before opening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2071\" data-end=\"2283\"\u003ePlace the tightly closed bottle in a bowl of warm water for a few minutes. Do not use boiling water and do not microwave the oil. Gentle warmth will reduce viscosity and allow the oil to pour or drop more easily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2285\" data-end=\"2403\"\u003eOnce warmed, the oil can be blended as usual.
