Balm of Gilead or "Gilly Bud" as it is so affectionately called throughout Appalachia is actually a nickname for populous balsamiferous. The mighty Black Poplar tree whose leaf buds swell up with sticky sap in mid-winter with amazing compounds that can relieve pain, clear coughs, drive away acne and is also anti-inflammatory and comforting for Arthritis, Bursitis and also minor aches and pains from many causes.

When the first white settlers came to New England in the early 17 th century the original people of this continent shared the simple herbal medicines they made with them. One of the first known items that was shared was a simple preparation that was made from winter harvested Black Poplar Buds that had been simmered in Bear fat. The early settlers being strongly related to the Holy Bible named it The Healing Balm of Gilead named in the Psalms and put in perspective in the book of Jeremiah as it seemed to help with every symptom of illness they would encounter.

Today we know why it works scientifically because of its high natural salicin content (salicin is a powerful pain relieving and anti inflammatory compound found in nature),useful for many situations. Salicin the active compound in the balm of gilead bud is also found in Willow, Birch and a few other plants and is the compound that scientists synthesized to create aspirin and other pain relieving drugs. 

   However I believe that the early settlers believed that the Healing Balm of Gilead mentioned in the Psalms was the Blood of the Lamb (Jesus Christ) sacrificed for their salvation and Healing. By placing their faith in the Balm as being anointed of God's creation they created a point of contact for Gods healing power to flow through and the Balm of Gilead got amazing results for them with stories of healing that raise the hair on the back of your neck to this day, and still occur as well I might add.

The Black Poplar trees can be quite tall sometimes topping 60 feet in height and since the buds are at their prime in January and February could present quite a challenge for harvesting. Sometimes the trees are cut down unscrupulously for harvesting the buds. The original people and those early Appalachians they passed the knowledge on to practiced sustainability by only harvesting the buds from branches and those trees that would get blown down in ice and furious winter storms.

This most popular soft and well rounded aroma offers a multitude of benefits and uses. It supports the balancing of moods and enhances mental clarity. Laven our increasingly chaotic lifestyles.

Conventional synthetic drugs are limited to either stimulating or sedating a person. Lavender like other potential remedies available from nature is able to return a person's demeanor to its prior balanced and natural state without the use of synthetic chemicals.

Lavender Essential Oil is one of the best remedies available for treating burns. We use it directly on the burn (neat or undiluted) when it is a small area affected and of course seek treatment if necessary. It helps the burn stop the blistering process and heals the area quite quickly. It helps to remove the redness and pain from sunburns and repels mosquitoes and biting flies.

* Lifestyle Tip - Add some lavender at 10 drops per oz to your moisturizer lotion or cream for use after exposure to sun

* Lifestyle Tip - When traveling on airlines or ships be sure to pack your lavender oil in your briefcase or pocketbook. Airline cabins are notorious for unclean recycled air full of bacteria and virus. Once you are on board and seated apply Lavender oil by putting drops on your fingertips and working in to your fingers and hands. This will help protect you from the surfaces you will touch en route. Also dab some around your mouth and nose to help protect the air you are breathing. The mild dose will also help relax you and ease any tensions as you prepare for takeoff.

Lavender is considered to be naturally antimicrobial for bacteria, virus, and fungus.

Popular uses of Lavender include applying a few drops to a handkerchief and inhale. Add a teaspoon to a mister bottle with distilled water, shake and mist sparingly in your bedroom and pillow area for restful sleep. For a blissful bathing experience add 8 drops to a gently hot bath. The uses can include adding a few drops to your laundry rinse, mist in your drawers, add to the water reservoir of your steam iron for sweeter scented laundry.

A few drops on your hair brush or comb may invigorate hair and scalp. If adding to unscented body care or plant oils, use 6-12 drops per 1 oz. of product, less if you are making body care for children.

Lavender blends well with many other oils but is specially nice with citrus notes and other floral notes. Try adding a few drops of Vetiver or Patchouli for a warm base note. The addition of Clove Leaf or Cinnamon Leaf along with some citrus can create a somewhat spicy stimulating blend. Geranium, Cedarwood, Clary Sage and Pine are somewhat related in aromatic character and are also considered suitable blending partners.
