Balm of Gilead Infused Olive Oil
Populus balsamifera
Our wildcrafted balm of Gilead infused olive oil is one of our all-time favorites. We infuse wildcrafted organic cottonwood buds and twigs in our organic cold pressed olive oil for several months, creating a sweet, balsamic smelling oil that is useful on so many levels. From its anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antispasmodic, and antimicrobial properties, to its ability to soothe emotional tension, it is truly a wonderful addition to anyone’s collection. You can use balm of Gilead infused olive oil as is, or use it in a healing salve blend. It even makes a lovely massage oil!
Description
North American indigenous tribes have traditionally used the resinous cottonwood buds to treat a variety of skin and lung ailments. Today, it is still used for its incredible healing abilities by herbalists, aromatherapists, and natural healers of every nation. We highly recommend using balm of gilead oil in a healing salve and keeping it on hand all the time. Try blending it with helichrysum Helichrysum italicum and German chamomile Matricaria recutita for an effective injury blend. It is a must have for any all-natural, holistic medicinal kit!
Give this healing salve recipe a try:
