Balm of gilead

"Balm of Gilead is a time-honored herbal salve crafted with castor oil, beeswax, and infused oils of cottonwood buds, self-heal, and yarrow. Traditionally revered for its soothing and restorative properties, this balm supports dry, irritated, and sensitive skin—making it a gentle companion for rough patches, rashes, and discomfort. The name 'Balm of Gilead' traces back to ancient times, where it was mentioned in the Bible as a rare and healing resin from the region of Gilead, known for its comforting and almost mystical properties. While the original resin came from the Commiphora tree, herbalists today craft modern versions using the resinous buds of the cottonwood tree, echoing the same tradition of healing and care.”**
