Tolu Balsam for Spiritual Healing & Love | Esoteric Roots 20g

Tolu Balsam (Myroxylon balsamum var. balsamum), also known as Balsam of Tolu, is a fragrant resin treasured for its powerful healing, love-drawing, and protective properties. Harvested from trees native to South America, this golden-brown resin has been used for centuries in spiritual practise, folk magic, and ceremonial incense blending.

When burned, Tolu Balsam releases a sweet, warm, vanilla-like aroma with rich balsamic notes and subtle hints of cinnamon and benzoin. The scent is softer and sweeter than its cousin Balsam of Peru, creating a gentle, comforting atmosphere that soothes the spirit and opens the heart.

Folklore:

Tolu Balsam has been valued since ancient times by indigenous peoples of Colombia and Venezuela, who used it in healing ceremonies and spiritual rituals. The resin is harvested by making V-shaped cuts in the bark of the Myroxylon tree, allowing the precious sap to flow and harden into golden tears—a process that has remained largely unchanged for centuries.

In European magical traditions, Tolu Balsam became highly prized during the Age of Exploration and was incorporated into church incense, healing balms, and protective charms. Its sweet, gentle aroma was believed to attract benevolent spirits and create a sacred atmosphere conducive to prayer and meditation. Monks and herbalists valued it for its ability to soothe troubled hearts and bring peace to restless souls.

In folk magic and hoodoo traditions, Tolu Balsam is used for love-drawing work, particularly when seeking a gentle, lasting romance rather than passionate intensity. It is burned to heal emotional wounds, mend broken relationships, and attract kind, loving energies. The resin is also associated with the element of air and is used in rituals for clarity, communication, and spiritual insight. Practitioners often combine it with rose petals or lavender to enhance its love-drawing properties.
