Balsam \Bal"sam\ (b[add]l"sam), n. [L. balsamum the balsam tree
or its resin, Gr. ba`lsamon. See Balm, n.]
1. A resin containing more or less of an essential or
volatile oil.
[1913 Webster]

Note: The balsams are aromatic resinous substances, flowing
spontaneously or by incision from certain plants. A
great variety of substances pass under this name, but
the term is now usually restricted to resins which, in
addition to a volatile oil, contain benzoic and

Gilead, and the balsams of copaiba, Peru, and Tolu.
There are also many pharmaceutical preparations and
resinous substances, possessed of a balsamic smell, to
which the name balsam has been given.
