Skin Health Benefits Of Balm Of Gilead
(While Balm Of Gilead has long been taken internally under the guidance of trained herbalists, we are focusing here on just it's skin benefits in the formula we have prepared...which is not to be taken internally.)
Anti-Inflammatory: One of the most common applications for Balm of Gilead is as a prepared topical ointment or salve on inflamed areas of the skin. For example, it acts in a similar way to aloe when applied to sunburn, as it can quickly suck out the heat and itchiness due to the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds found within this powerful oil. Similarly, when it is applied to areas affected by arthritis, it can reduce inflammation, effectively eliminating pain as well.
Anti-bacterial: Aside from effects like soothing sunburn, the antibacterial properties of Balm of Gilead also mean that it can quickly clear up skin infections or irritations, such as eczema, psoriasis, and even eliminating the appearance of scars and blemishes. For insect bites, it can be rubbed on the affected area for rapid healing and pain relief. The analgesic quality of Balm of Gilead can be used on the temples and neck as well, if you suffer from headaches or migraines.
