POPLAR BUD

Populus balsamifera

BALM OF GILEAD

Wildcrafted, these sticky, resinous spring buds are rich in the same aromatic compounds bees gather to make propolis.

RESPIRATORY SUPPORT

Valued by herbalists for coughs, colds and sore throats, traditionally used to soothe the chest and ease congestion.

JOINTS & MUSCLES

Naturally rich in salicylates, poplar bud is traditionally used for aches, stiff joints and muscular discomfort.

PROTECTIVE

Traditionally valued for its antimicrobial and antioxidant qualities, much like propolis.

CAUTIONS

Avoid if allergic to aspirin or salicylates, bee propolis or Peru balsam. Avoid during pregnancy and breastfeeding, and check with your healthcare professional if taking blood thinners or other medication.
