Made from fresh Buds, branches, and leaves of famous Israel-grown Poplar Judean trees (Populus euphratica) that grow in Israel on Coastal Plains and shores of the Dead Sea in Jericho Valley and Ein Geidi region. This tree can also be found in northern Israel in Golan Heights.
Our method of harvest is to use only what is pruned and what naturally falls to the ground. Everything is fresh and used immediately and what we do not use right away we freeze to be used at a later date. Poplar buds are best used fresh, live for medicines. If not fresh, then frozen and thawed. Dried buds will always be rotten, black and crumbly inside from fungal decay.
WE DO NOT EVER USE DRIED BUDS FOR MEDICINES.
BIBLICAL:
By the rivers of Babylon, we sat and wept
when we remembered Zion.
There on the poplar trees smelled of sweet balsam
we hung our harps, for there our captors did ask us for songs,
songs of joy; they said, “Sing us one of the songs of Zion!”Psalm 137:1-3

He fled with all that he had, and arose and crossed the Euphra’tes,
and set his face toward the hill country of Gilead. Gen 31:21
Gilead was a mountainous region east of the Jordan River divided among the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and Manasseh, and situated in modern-day Israel and Jordan. It is also referred to by the Aramaic name Yegar-Sahadutha, which carries the same meaning as the Hebrew Gilead, namely: “heap [of stones] of testimony” (Genesis 31:47-48
Psalm 56 says “You have taken account of my wanderings; put my tears in Thy bottle; are {they} not in Thy book? In the ancient world, when a loved one died, mourners would catch their falling tears in a bottle and bury them as a token of eternal devotion.
Psalm 84 also speaks about Bacha (weeping) where it says ‘How blessed is the man whose strength is in you; in whose heart are the highways {to Zion} Passing through the valley of Baca, they make it a spring, the early rain also covers it with blessings. They go from strength to strength, {every one of them} appears before G-d in Zion.”
Tanach texts or Hebrew Bible-related with this oil can be found in: Genesis 37:25, Ezekiel 27:17, Jeremiah 8:22, Song of Songs 4:1, Song of Songs 6:13, 2 Sam 5:22-25.
Historical context:
In an attempt to restore the empire of David, Josiah seized the territory of the former kingdom of Israel that had been Gilead. When Babylon overran the land and took most oft the people of Israel to Babylon through walking the road of Damascus through the territory of Gilead where these trees stood.
There no changes were made in the provincial organization established by the Assyrians. Ezekiel 47 and 48 mention the provinces of Hamath, Damascus, Hauran, and Gilead, already known from the Assyrian period. Jeremiah looked to the time of restoration of Gilead to Israel (Jer 50:19), and Obadiah foresaw its restoration to Benjamin (Obad 19). In the postexilic period, Tobiah was the Persian appointed governor of the territory of Ammon which had been joined to the province of Gilead. In 163 b.c., Judas Maccabeus with his younger brother Jonathan campaigned in Gilead (Galaad) with some success, but his power was not sufficient to hold the area permanently, so he took the Israelite population to Judea that wanted to remain members of the Jerusalem religious community (1 Macc 5:9-54).
