In ancient times, a remarkable plant known as the Balm of Gilead flourished along the shores of the Dead Sea. It was one of the most significant medicinal substances of the era, and its resin sap and leaves produced a highly coveted aroma in the Roman Empire. The Balm of Gilead served as the primary ingredient in the incense used in the Temple, known as Balsam, and was the sole component of the Holy Anointing Oil during the Second Temple period.
According to ancient sources, the Queen of Sheba gifted this plant to King Solomon as part of their marriage. Today, it can be found growing natively in Saudi Arabia. The aroma was cherished by the Kingdom of Israel and many other nations. It was also used by the daughters of Jerusalem, who applied cold-pressed oil on Tu B’Av, donning white dresses as they danced in the threshing fields, as recounted in the story of Ruth. The ancient Balm of Gilead is regarded as the finest type of resin in the world.
