The Balm of Gilead

Balm of Gilead is mentioned in the Bible as a great comforter. It is said to ease the plight of the Broken-Hearted, to soothe the pain engendered by quarrels, argument, and lovers' spats, and to ease problems caused by jealous co-workers and false friends who are trying to trouble your marriage or love-life. Some folks place a pinch of  Balm of Gilead in the four corners of the bedroom to bring peace to the home and put an end to marital and sexual problems. Others tell have said that they carry Balm of Gilead in a pocket for reconciliation with an long lost friend, or spouse, or that they burn it on charcoal with Myrrh as an incense. I guess there really is a Balm in Gilead.  We know the real deal.
