Best Answer

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.

What can be used to dissolve chewing gum?
