From Wild Harvested Flowers and Leaves from Rimon Farm and Macerated into Israeli Olive Oil. We first introduced this extract into our line in 2006. It has grown to a favorite among Israelis, Europeans, and Americans to treat over 40 different ailments. Inula is the most expensive oil in the world as an essential oil but is much more effective as an herbal oil because of the healing benefits of whole plant molecules. We only harvest one time a year during the winter blooming time to get the best leaves and flowers.
Use:
Infused leaves of Inula Viscosa plant from the garden of Rimon Farm in Israel. Infused with Israeli Olive Oil from the upper Galilee region of Israel blended with a small amount of Tamanu Oil (trauma oil). This was infused up to 4 weeks with recharging the infusion meaning the changing of leaf materials and steep for another 4 more weeks. then we take the infused oil with Organic Beeswax and create a lovely rich salve.

Inula viscosa, also known as Israel Balm Leaf, Faux Yellowhead, Inula resin, and strong-smelling Inula is desired in both tincture and infused oil. In the State of Israel, it is known by its Arabic name,(tayun davik) (sticky tayun). Also known as “Job’s healing oil or balm”.
The plant grows wild in the land of Israel from north to south of the country. It is a perennial shrub of the Asteraceae family that is found in most of the Mediterranean basin. This herb is very aromatic species has spreading branches and toothed leaves that have a sticky resin. It blooms with small yellow flowers to produce tiny achenes. There are some obscure Torah commentaries that say Tayun davik (Inula Viscosa) may be one of the key ingredients in the Balm ointment of Gilead besides the Balsam resin.
The resin of the plant we now know that Inula Viscosa was used in ancient times for germination of wheat seeds as a pest repellant for growing wheat and is used today by many Israeli Farmers.
It’s an aromatic plant that has a strong smell of grassy yet slight camphor when picked fresh, so you would know that it was there if you stumbled across it. The leaves and stems of the plant have a sticky resin, and the plant will bloom with small yellow flowers, especially during winter. It is one of the few food sources available to honey bees in the wintertime, which is another reason it is so highly regarded by the Israeli people.
