As the Latin name Populus candicans implies, the poplar tree, often known as the cottonwood tree, is the source of Balm of Gilead Buds. This tree is native to North America. The unopened flower buds are picked and dried herbs are created from their resinous and aromatic buds. After that, these premium bulk herbs are employed as an ingredient in ointments and skin creams; these ointments typically contain 15–20% Balm of Gilead Buds.
You can create your own ointments by combining bulk herbs with olive oil or a comparable oil. If a person is allergic to aspirin, they should exercise caution when using dried Populus candicans, which is used in skin creams and ointments, or when using a professionally manufactured skin cream containing this ingredient. Balm of Gilead Buds can trigger a similar allergic reaction in these individuals.
