Scientific name: Populus candicans
Other Names: American Balm of Gilead, Balsam Poplar, Poplar Buds, Mecca balsam
Origin: Indigenous to North America
Form: Buds
Uses: Spiritual and emotional comfort, love, healing, reconciliation, conflict resolution, peaceful home, inspiration, manifestation, consecration; soothes minor skin irritations and joint discomfort
Magickal Associations: Jupiter, water
According to an old Black Spiritual, "There is a balm in Gilead to soothe the sin-sick soul." Presented as a gift to Solomon, Balm of Gilead was cultivated in Judea on Mt. Gilead.
Balm of Gilead buds come from Cottonwood Poplar or Balm of Gilead trees in the United States that produce a resinous, sticky and tight bud that is highly aromatic. The dried, unopened buds of the poplar tree have been used in ointments and skin treatments for at least 3,000 years. Balm of Gilead has been effectively used in compounds for its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory actions, as well.
As in the Bible, the use of Balm of Gilead buds in hoodoo works include love, protection from the malicious meddling of others, reconciliation, mending a broken heart, soothing troublesome relationships and for comfort. The buds can also be burned on charcoal to attract spirits, carried to attract a new love, and made into an oil of consecration.
Our Balm of Gilead is wild harvested each year and prepared the old-fashioned way in a brown paper bag. Depending on when you order, some of your buds may still be green; all you have to do is keep them in the brown paper bag they come in and they will cure naturally within a couple of weeks. Most buds are already dried and ready for use in oils and ointments. I will include a note with your order if your buds need additional curing time.
This is a limited quantity botanical. We also carry Balm of Gilead Oil which is available year-round.
NOTE: Balm of Gilead buds contain salicyates. If you are hypersensitive to aspirin or other salicylates, you may experience an allergy to Balm of Gilead buds. NOT RECOMMENDED FOR INTERNAL USE.

About Balm of Gilead
According to an old Black Spiritual, "There is a balm in Gilead to soothe the sin-sick soul." Presented as a gift to Solomon, Balm of Gilead was cultivated in Judea on Mt. Gilead.

As in the Bible, the use of Balm of Gilead buds in hoodoo works include love, protection from the malicious meddling of others, reconciliation, mending a broken heart, soothing troublesome relationships and for comfort. The buds can also be burned on charcoal to attract spirits, carried to attract a new love, and made into an oil of consecration. To extract the resin, crush the buds, cover with olive oil, and allow to sit for two weeks to one month. Be sure to add a little vitamin E to prevent rancidity.
For Psychic Healing
To prepare a candle to be used in psychic healing, first rinse it in cold water and sea salt, and then anoint it with Balm of Gilead oil beginning at the center working outward toward both ends.
Love Mojo
Add 2 Balm of Gilead Buds, rose petals, violets, myrrh, cardamom seeds, 2 (He and She) lodstones, and magnetic sand to a red mojo bag. Anoint with Rose Oil. Carry with you to attract and keep the love you desire.
Tincture
Infuse 2 ounces of the buds in a quart of good rum, add 4 ounces of sugar. Digest for four days. Take 2 or 3 teaspoonfuls at a time. It greatly relieves cough, pains in the chest, and other pulmonary affections. The tincture and decoction form excellent remedies for cough, asthma, wheezing, etc.
Medicinal Syrup
To make a syrup for the treatment of chest congestion, combine equal amounts of Balm of Gilead with elecampane, wild cherry bark and one-half part of licorice mixed with honey. Take a tablespoonful as needed.
WARNING: People with kidney and liver disease, as well as pregnant and nursing women, should avoid the internal use of Balm of Gilead. People who are allergic to aspirin may also experience an allergic reaction to Balm of Gilead.
