Hi Dougnut

I have always refered to it as Balsam Pear and I have used its medicinal properties for years. Ms Outlaw was my first herbal teacher and she raised me when my parents were gone months at a time because their work required traveling. Her family had used it since the 1800's at least.
You may not see it written anywhere, but she used it as a poltice on open wounds many times, including the time I had a nail driven completely through my foot with amazing results. The poltice was applied to my very painful foot and kept on overnight. The next morning the holes were completely closed tight and could not be opened when the skin was stretched and there was never any pain after that, I ran and walked on that foot that day and every day after that.


Ms Outlaw grew her own balsam pear and we pickled it in a solution she made from boiling cured pine resin and used on open wounds, it was then aged in a cool dark place which was the cellar with all the other tinctures and oils. The balsam pear was not tinctured like the other herbs but, some balsam pear was pickled in alcohol which was not used on open wounds.
Balsam Pear was used in America a lot longer than many people may think.
