Description

Made from the resin of a tropical tree found throughout Central and South America, Peru Balsam has long been used as a topical healing agent and has a rich warm scent with comforting sweet and spicy tones.

Nature/Essence – Healing & Restorative

Peru Balsam is used for cracked, chapped and slow-healing skin conditions including eczema, cracked heels, poorly healing wounds, and for haemorrhoid preparations. It has antiseptic and calming properties and aids healing. Use sparingly and well diluted as it can be a skin sensitiser.

As an inhalation, Peru Balsam can help open up the airways and ease bronchitis and chest congestion. It is also used for scabies, head lice and dandruff.

Peru Balsam is comforting and calming to the nervous system.

Peru balsam

I love Pure Nature's Peru Balsam.

I've had it from other suppliers and it's very thick, this one is easy to use and smells great

Not my favourite, but not bad.

This particular distillation seems to be lacking the richer, deeper notes of other Peru Balsams I’ve used over the years, but it does offer a nice warm sweet base for other oils. Clear in colour - I have only ever used Peru Balsams which are darker in colour.
