Folklore:

Balsam of Peru has been valued since pre-Columbian times by indigenous peoples of Central America, who used it in healing ceremonies and spiritual rituals. The balsam is harvested from the Myroxylon balsamum tree through a labour-intensive process that involves wounding the bark and collecting the precious sap that flows forth—a process that mirrors the balsam's magical association with healing wounds, both physical and emotional.

In European folk magic traditions, Balsam of Peru became highly sought after during the colonial period and was incorporated into love spells, healing balms, and protective charms. Its sweet, comforting scent was believed to attract love and soothe broken hearts, making it a staple in the cunning folk's repertoire. The balsam was often carried in mojo bags for love attraction or burned to draw a new romantic partner.

In hoodoo and rootwork traditions, Balsam of Peru is considered one of the most powerful ingredients for love and reconciliation work. It is used to sweeten relationships, heal rifts between lovers, and maintain harmony in the home. The balsam is also associated with the element of water and the planet Venus, reinforcing its connection to matters of the heart, beauty, and emotional well-being.
