Step into the tradition of the ancient woods. Our Balm of Gilead oil is a seasonal labor of love, handcrafted from the resinous, honey-scented buds of the Balsam Poplar. Harvested only in the deep winter, these buds are slow-infused into Sunflower oil to capture their powerful anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. Known historically as a "sacred salve," this oil carries a naturally sweet, spicy, and balsamic aroma that calms both the skin and the senses.
Balm of Gilead is one of the most storied preparations in the traditional apothecary’s cabinet. Made from the resinous winter buds of the Balsam Poplar (Populus trichocarpa or Populus balsamifera), this oil is prized for its high content of salicin—the natural precursor to aspirin—making it an unrivaled choice for topical pain relief and skin repair.
