One of the few members of the Labiatae (Mint Family) with compound leaves. The intense, head-clearing fragrance of the leaves makes for good incense and potpourri material. Smelling of camphor, eucalyptus, mint, and pine, the leaves have been used in the Canary Islands to treat coughs, colds, breathing difficulties and as a relaxant. Canary Islands natives use it to make Canary Tea - a popular beverage tea. Clusters of 1 inch long pink flowers are attractive to butterflies; planted in a tub it makes an attractive shrubby patio plant. Not the Balm of Gilead of the Bible (Commiphora opobalsamum), nor the source of Balm of Gilead buds (Populus candicans), nor the Balm of Gilead Fir (Abies balsamea). Now here's an example of the trouble with common names! Sometimes listed as Agastache canariensis and Cedronella canariensis.
