- Balsam of Tolu [1 oz] -
|
Balsam of Tolu is favored for its hyacinth-like fragrance. Everyone I have exposed to this resin loves it! It is a very soothing and comforting fragrance that has a harmonizing effect, and is good for healing 'inner wounds.' In Peruvian traditional use, balsam of Tolu is used to attract wealth and happiness and to promote creativity and dream work. It is also used to prevent emotional excess. It also has a number of uses in traditional medicine. In the sixteenth century the pope offically gave permission to substitue balsam of Tolu for harder to find Mecca balsam for ceremonial incense use as well as for anointing oils. |
