Researchers identified that the individual who chewed the gum was a female who was closely related genetically to hunter-gatherers from mainland Europe. [12]
Myrrh gum has often been claimed to reduce the symptoms of indigestion, ulcers, colds, cough, asthma, respiratory congestion, arthritis, and cancer, although more good scientific evidence is needed to support these uses.
