Cistus, aka-Rockrose, is considered a rare essential oil, is believed to be the Rose of Sharon of the bible, and grows on Mt. Carmel, where Elijah challenged the prophets of Baal. It is said that species of Cistus were widespread and common throughout Gilead and used as a medicine, therefore is it believed that Cistus is what could be the balm of Gilead referred to in Jeremiah 8:22.  (Shepherd's even used cistus for healing the wounds of their sheep!)

 

 

I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys.  As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters. 3As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste. 4He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love. Song of Solomon 2:1-4
