BALMOFGILEAD
Balm of Gilead
Balm of Gilead was originally a healing compound made from the resinous gum of a bush which grew plentifully in the area of Gilead. Its dried fruit was called Carpobalsamum, and the dried twigs Xylobalsamum. This compound was exported widely. The Balm of Gilead is mentioned several times in the Bible. More recently, a similar product is made from the resinous gum of the North American Balm of Gilead tree tree or from related species such as the balsam poplar , which is also sometimes called Balm of Gilead.The above text is a snippet from Wikipedia: Balm of Gilead
