BALSAM POPLAR (BALM OF GILEAD) OIL

Our organically crafted Balsam Poplar Essential Oil is steam distilled from the sustainably wildcrafted delicate buds of the deciduous Populus balsamifera trees native to the forests in Canada. Balsam Poplar Tree is also known as Balm of Gilead tree, after the legendary salve of that name. With its fresh, resinous, sweet, balsamic, sensual, woodsy aroma, Balsam Poplar Essential Oil is now widely used as an ingredient in soaps, perfumes and various cosmetic products.

The process of wildcrafting the buds used to make our Balsam Poplar Essential Oil is particularly labor-intensive, but the stunning aromatics make it so worth it the extra effort. Poplar Balsam Essential Oil is created in the tradition of the Native North Americans, who used the bark of this hardy tree to treat deep wounds, decrease pain, clear congestion, and alleviate symptoms of arthritis and rheumatism.
