Balms are defined as fragrant ointments for healing, anointing or soothing pain. Balm is derived from "balsam" which originated from the Greek, adapted to represent Hebrew words, "baal sheman", meaning "lord of oils". The most famous balm is possibly the Balm of Gilead so called because the areas of Gilead was rich in the aromatic gums that became ingredients of balms exported to Egypt and Israel.
Healing balms traditionally contain plant oils, incense oils and pure, essential oils that hold many varied healing properties. The best healing balms contain blends of suitable oils that combine well to maximise the therapeutic effect. These oils can be made into a cream such as Melissa Healing Balm that is full of Melissa or Lemon Balm, Calendula and Hypericum, all of which combine to heal cuts, grazes, sunburn and insect bites. Healing balms are lotions. Horse Chestnut and Rosemary Leg Balm treats heavy, aching legs with healing Arnica and Rosemary, and astringent, toning Horsechestnut and Cypress. Healing balms are Floral Waters. Sage and Thyme Herbal Water contains traditional British herbal oils that are aniseptic, condition the skin and also make a warming body rub.
Beauty balms, healing balms. If balms are natural skincare products it is a fine distinction. The difference between beauty balms and healing balms lays within the intention. Beauty balms are full of the same therapeutic and conditioning ingredients as healing balms. Beauty balms are used on a regular basis. Beauty balms make for a very luxurious, beauty routine. Examples of beauty balms are the unashamedly, opulent rose face creams, Rose Everyday Face Cream, and for night time nourishment, Rose and Apricot Face Moisturiser Beauty balms are also floral waters, the balancing Lavender and the gentle Rose in gorgeous Rose and Lavender Face Freshener, tone and soften the skin
Head Balms are healing balms. Head balms are at their most effective as pure oil blends. Head balms are to be massaged on the temples, around the hairline and the muscles of the neck to relieve nausea, headaches and heads stuffy with catarrhs or sinusitis. Peppermint and Rosemary Head Balm, and Bergamot Head Balm contain such therapeutic ingredients as Lavender, to soothe and balance the nervous system, Pepppermint, containing natural menthol, to cool and calm both pain and nausea, Bergamot to uplift, clarify the senses and help with sickness, and Eucalyptus to effectively decongest catarrh and muzzy head.
Lip balms are moisturising, healing creams spread over the lips to keep them hydrated and healthy. Lip balms are necessary because the skin on the lips lacks oil glands. Lip balms condition dry, chapped lips affected by the weather, too much sun, cold winds and icy temperatures. A beautiful lip balm is made from beeswax blended with plant oil and an essential oil such as rosemary or vanilla that "tastes" and smells good enough to eat.
Perfume balms are emphasised in the dictionary definition of balms, a "fragrant" balm, an "aromatic" balm. Perfume balms can be solid, scented creams rubbed in pulse points to release fragrance throughout the day. Perfume balms are Floral Waters, gently fragranced with Rose, Lavender, Citrus and Sage, to be splashed on face, hands and feet, neck and arms. Perfumed balms are the whole of Beautiful Balms collection. Each individual skincare product has been created to smell delicious.
Flower Essences are aptly named "balms" as they pour soothing balm on the spirits and emotions. Balm to disappointed love, heartache and bereavement is Rose Aqua Flower Essence. A Flower Essence balm to relieve stubborn anger is Holly Aqua Flower essence, a remedy leading to forgiveness and peace of mind. Matrona flower essence brings balm to those struggling with control issues in both poles, either being out of control or too much in charge. Balm for those suffering abuse and childhood wounds is offered by Lady's Mantle Aqua Flower Essence.
