Important safety information - please read before use

Poplar buds naturally contain salicylates (aspirin-like compounds) in their sticky resin, and are the natural source of bee propolis. A few cautions are important.

  • Aspirin / salicylate sensitivity: do NOT use if you are allergic or sensitive to aspirin or other salicylates.
  • Children and teenagers: because of the salicylate content, do not give it to children or teenagers, especially during or after a viral illness (risk of Reye syndrome).
  • Blood thinners: if you take a blood thinner such as warfarin, talk to a qualified healthcare practitioner before use.
  • Propolis / balsam allergy: avoid this product if you are allergic to propolis or to balsam of Peru - it can cause skin or allergic reactions.
  • Pregnancy / nursing: do NOT use during pregnancy; if nursing, consult a qualified healthcare practitioner first.
  • Keep to the suggested serving and keep out of reach of children.

Frequently Asked Questions about Balm Of Gilead Extract
What is Balm of Gilead (Populus candicans) bud extract?
Balm of Gilead is a liquid extract of the dried leaf buds of the balsam poplar - sold in herbal commerce as Populus candicans (the accepted botanical name is Populus x jackii, a hybrid of the balsam poplar Populus balsamifera). The sticky, aromatic buds are the part used. This alcohol-free version is a vegetable-glycerin glycerite, cold-macerated from buds responsibly sourced from Croatia and prepared in the USA. Important: this poplar-bud Balm of Gilead is not the biblical Balm of Gilead (Commiphora gileadensis, a resin) and not the balsam fir (Abies balsamea). Please read the safety notes below.
What is the difference between the alcohol-free and tincture versions?
Both are liquid extracts of the same poplar buds; only the solvent differs. This alcohol-free version is a glycerite made with vegetable glycerin and purified water, giving it a milder taste that suits those who prefer to avoid alcohol. The tincture uses organic alcohol, the classic cold-maceration method that yields a more concentrated extract. Choose the glycerite if you prefer no alcohol; choose the tincture for a traditional alcohol-extracted format. The botanical inside is identical. Please follow the safety notes for both.
Is this the same as the biblical Balm of Gilead or white poplar?
No. Several very different plants share the name Balm of Gilead. Ours is the poplar bud (Populus candicans, also written Populus x jackii or the balsam poplar Populus balsamifera). The biblical or true Balm of Gilead is Commiphora gileadensis, a resin-bearing tree unrelated to poplar, and Balm of Gilead fir is Abies balsamea. Our product is also different from our White Poplar (Populus alba), which is the same genus but a different species and a different part - the bark, not the buds. We label ours clearly so it is not confused with any of these.
How do I use Balm of Gilead liquid extract?
Shake well first. Use the number of drops and the frequency shown on the label, in a little water, tea or juice, or as directed by your practitioner. This alcohol-free glycerite has a milder taste and can be added to a cool drink. Do not exceed the suggested serving, and read the safety information below before use.
Is Balm of Gilead right for everyone? Safety information.
Please read this carefully. Poplar buds naturally contain salicylates (aspirin-like compounds) in their sticky resin. Do NOT use if you are allergic or sensitive to aspirin or other salicylates. Because of the salicylate content, do not give it to children or teenagers, especially during or after a viral illness (risk of Reye syndrome), and if you take a blood thinner such as warfarin, talk to a qualified healthcare practitioner first. Poplar buds are also the natural source of bee propolis, so avoid this product if you are allergic to propolis or to balsam of Peru - it can cause skin or allergic reactions. Do NOT use during pregnancy; if you are nursing or take any medication, consult a qualified healthcare practitioner before use. Keep to the suggested serving and keep out of reach of children. Store as directed on the label. These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
