First mentioned in Scripture when King Solomon gifted it to the Queen of Sheba, Balm of Gilead was known as a cure-all. While the original referred to a Middle Eastern resin, North American herbalists have long cherished the spring buds of the Cottonwood Poplar for their similar healing properties. At Triple H Homestead, we slow-infuse local sunflower oil with hand-gathered cottonwood buds, then blend in pure beeswax to create this deeply soothing salve.
Use it to:
Calm inflammation and relieve surface pain
Soothe cuts, scrapes, burns, and rashes
Ease sore muscles, stiff joints, and cracked skin
Support healing with natural antibacterial, antifungal, and mild analgesic properties
Apply to the chest as a warming rub during cold season to help open airways and encourage restful sleep
A true first-aid essential—grounded in Scripture, trusted by generations. Crafted in small batches with care, from our homestead to your home

Karen Smith (my mother in law) attended a course in Melfort that she loved and shared the products. My family home has lots of these natural items growing but the balm of gilead is the smell of my childhood in springtime (Prince Albert, SK).
