The Aztecs would apply the cream prepared with 25 grams of pure lard, and 1/2 gram of Essence of Toronjil to aid bumps, skin problems and rheumatic pain.Its very name suggests the primary application of balm - a soothing, calming agent for stressed nerves. Balm, like the various members of the mint family, is invigorating and yet relaxing to the nervous system because it is highly aromatic.
