Imure iyinhlaka, noma into efana nencindi, evela ku-I-Commiphora myrrhaisihlahla, esivamile e-Afrika naseMpumalanga Ephakathi. Ingenye yamafutha abalulekile asetshenziswa kakhulu emhlabeni.
Isihlahla semure sihlukile ngenxa yezimbali zaso ezimhlophe nesiqu esinamafindo. Ngezinye izikhathi, lesi sihlahla sinamaqabunga ambalwa kakhulu ngenxa yesimo esomile sasogwadule lapho sikhula khona. Ngezinye izikhathi kungathatha isimo esingavamile nesisontekile ngenxa yesimo sezulu esibi kanye nomoya.
Ukuze kuvunwe imure, iziqu zesihlahla kumelwe zigawulwe ukuze kudedelwe inhlaka. I-resin ivunyelwe ukuba yome futhi iqala ukubukeka njengezinyembezi kuso sonke isiqu somuthi. Khona-ke i-resin iyaqoqwa, futhi amafutha abalulekile enziwa ngobisi ngokusebenzisa i-steam distillation.
Amafutha emure anephunga elishunqayo, elimnandi noma elibabayo kwesinye isikhathi. Igama elithi mure livela egameni lesi-Arabhu elithi “murr,” elisho okubabayo.
Amafutha anombala osaphuzi, osawolintshi nokuvumelana kwe-viscous. Ngokuvamile isetshenziswa njengesisekelo seziqholo namanye amakha.
Izinhlanganisela ezimbili eziyinhloko ezisebenzayo zitholakala kumure, ama-terpenoids nama-sesquiterpenes, kokubilibabe nemiphumela elwa nokuvuvukala kanye ne-antioxidant. Ama-Sesquiterpenes ikakhulukazi anomthelela esikhungweni sethu semizwa ku-hypothalamus,ukusisiza sihlale sizolile futhi silinganisele.
Zombili lezi zinhlanganisela zingaphansi kophenyo ngezinzuzo zazo zokulwa nomdlavuza kanye ne-antibacterial, kanye nokunye ukusetshenziswa okungenzeka kokwelapha.
