Balm of Gilead – Forest Medicine for Body & Spirit
This sacred salve is a loving blend of wildcrafted cottonwood buds—known as the original Balm of Gilead—slowly infused in golden oils to draw out their natural healing resins. To deepen its ancient magic, I’ve added pure essential oils of frankincense, myrrh, and cedarwood—each chosen for their soothing, grounding, and heart-opening properties.
With its earthy-sweet aroma and velvety texture, this balm calms irritated skin, eases muscle tension, and invites a sense of stillness and peace. It’s a beautiful companion for ritual, rest, or simple everyday care.
Every jar is handmade in small batches with deep reverence for plant wisdom and old-world herbal traditions. Let this balm be a quiet comfort—a little piece of the sacred to carry with you.
Key Ingredients:
• Wildcrafted Cottonwood Buds – The original Balm of Gilead, infused in oil to draw out soothing resins
• Frankincense Essential Oil – Uplifting, calming, and spiritually protective
• Myrrh Essential Oil – Deeply grounding, promotes skin repair and sacred stillness
• Cedarwood Essential Oil – Earthy and strengthening, brings warmth and balance
Directions for Use – Balm of Gilead
A salve for body, heart, and spirit
• For sore muscles + joints: Massage gently into achy areas. The warming resin works deeply to reduce inflammation and ease tension.
• For wounds + skin irritations: Apply a thin layer to scrapes, cuts, or dry skin to promote healing and protect the skin barrier.
• For emotional healing: Rub over your heart center or pulse points when grief, anxiety, or heaviness arises. Inhale deeply — let the scent guide you back to center.
• For ritual or energetic work: Anoint your temples, third eye, or feet during prayer, meditation, or dreamwork. Use as an offering to plant spirits or ancestors.
Note: For external use only. Avoid open, deep wounds. As always, test on a small patch of skin first.
Scent Profile:
Sweet, woodsy, and slightly smoky—like warm forest air after rain, with resinous undertones of frankincense and myrrh.
Personally I love this balm prior to bed for a good grounding rest. Or it’s used on minor scrapes and scratches. I’ve used it on my little ones when they are not feeling well as a chest rub.
