| Résumé : | Balsam traditionally refers to a natural gum with healing properties, obtained from a Middle Eastern tree (Commiphora opobalsamum) and often combined with other resins such as myrrh and turpentine. In early modern medicine, Paracelsus and his disciples gave it a metaphorical sense indicating either the physiological humor of life or an oily distillate. |
