I mostly see the term associated with the Eastern Churches. On a Byzantine website, I found the statement, “Chrismation is practiced by anointing the new Christian with chrism, which is holy oil (Gk. myron).” The Catechism of the Catholic Church also calls sacred chrism “myron” in CCC 1297, referring to the way the Catholic Church in Antioch blesses the oil for confirmation. From this, it would appear to me that myron is another word for the holy oil or chrism that is used in the sacrament of Confirmation.What is the myron consecrated by a bishop?
Does that answer your question?

Exodus 30, 22-25 Furthermore the Lord spoke to Moses saying, ‘Also take for yourself aromatic spices, the flower of costly myrrh, five hundred shekels worth, and fragrant cinnamon, half as much, two hundred and fifty, and two hundred and fifty shekels of sweet smelling calamus, and five hundred shekels of cassia, according to the shekel of the sanctuary, and a hin of olive oil. You shall make from these holy anointing oil, an ointment compounded according to the art of the perfumer. It shall be an oil of holy anointing’.What is the myron consecrated by a bishop?
The Holy Myrrh is prepared from oil and a variety of fragrant essences. These symbolize the diverse gifts of the Holy Spirit which are received by the Christian who is being anointed. The most ancient particular references, concerning the materials for the myrrh, and for the preparation and chafing of the ingredients to be used, date from the 8th century. This is the earliest description we have, and it has been preserved to this day. In the Ecumenical Patriarchate an official register exists defining the various aromatics which are to be used and compose the Holy Myrrh; they number fifty seven. Details as to the manner of the sanctification of Holy Myrrh during the first centuries of Christianity are totally non existent.

It is the sacred Chrism, used in confirmation and unction, and in blessing of icons and altars.
