In this episode, we’re diving into the enchanting world of cottonwood buds and the Pacific Northwest’s version of the ancient Balm of Gilead. Collected in early spring, these resinous buds release a rich, balsamic fragrance that has been cherished for centuries for its soothing and healing properties. Often compared to the biblical Balm of Gilead, this aromatic resin carries a sense of renewal and connection to the natural world. Join us as we explore the history, uses, and magic of this seasonal treasure, and how it ties us to the rhythms of the land and the traditions of the past.
