You cannot 'make' myrrh as it is a natural substance - a resin from a tree that grows in parts of Africa and the Middle East. Myrrh is a resin that is harvested from the tree by cutting into the bark and collecting it as it oozes out. When dry it is a yellow-brown clear(ish) brittle material which, if dissolved in a suitable solvent produces a liquid known as 'myrrh oil' that is used as an antiseptic and analgesic. It was also used by the ancient Egyptians as one of the materials used in mummification as it preserved the flesh of those who were deceased as it slowed down the decompostion pprocess.
