Fun Fact!
The crude balsam is collected by hand from the monumental Balsam tree (Myroxylon Pereirae). Collectors will scale these large trees to incise the trunk, they then heat the incisions with an open flame torch to promote resin production. Strips of cloth are then applied to the wounds in the tree bark and left for a couple of weeks. After being collected the cloths are boiled to release the resin, the water and resin are then separated and the collector is left with the crude balsam.
