Balsamodendron Myrrha
A native of Arabia Felix, producing a gum
resin, sometimes called Opobalsamum, which was considered by the
ancients as a panacea for almost all the ills that flesh is heir
to. _B. mukul_ yields a resin of this name, and is considered
identical with the Bdellium of Dioscorides and of the Scriptures.
The resin has cordial and stimulating properties, and is burnt as
an incense. In ancient times it was used as an embalming
ingredient.
