As the resins in myrrh do not readily dissolve in water,

the best way to prepare myrrh is in tincture form. Tinctured

myrrh is typically made in a 1:5 ratio meaning 1 part myrrh and

5 parts menstrum. The menstrum used in this particular tincture

is 90% ethanol alcohol, and 10% water.

Can gum dissolve?

Gum doesn't dissolve in the same way that many other substances do; instead, it can break down over time due to exposure to heat, moisture, and saliva. Chewing gum typically remains intact in the mouth and does not dissolve in water. However, certain ingredients in gum can be broken down by bacteria or enzymes in the digestive system, but the rubbery base of the gum remains largely unchanged. Ultimately, gum is designed to be chewed rather than dissolved.


What can be used to dissolve chewing gum?

Many solvents will dissolve gum, but they will also usually stain whatever you use them on. The mildest is vegetable oil, which can dissolve or loosen some types of gum. Naphtha, methanol, acetone, and urea products will also dissolve some types of gum. The easiest way to remove most gum (from hair, fabrics) is using ice to harden it, so that it can be flaked off the surface.
