Also known as "Black Balsam", the well-known Balsam of Peru is nothing more than the concretion of the pathological exudate generated by the removal of strips of bark from Myroxylon balsamum, a large tropical tree that grows to twenty-five meters tall. Native to Central America, it has a smooth trunk, rich foliage, and very fragrant flowers. The plant is entirely resinous. Balsam is widely used in medicinal preparations in many tropical countries, especially cough syrups.
