Galbanum (Ferula galbaniflua) is a giant fennel-like plant native to the Middle East and Asia. Plants grow plentifully on mountain slopes and produce an aromatic resin that is both musky and green in scent. Galbanum resin can be steam-distilled to produce essential oil which is used in some cosmetics and fragrances. Historically, Galbanum resin was also used to dress inflamed and abscessed wounds. Galbanum is one of the most important products of Iran. This product is exported in high volumes because of its high quality. Ferula gummosis is the main source of Galbanum. It is a perennial species with a smooth stem and shining, ovate, wedge-shaped leaves which are finely serrated on the edges.
Uses:- Galbanum is a wonderful oil to use for skin disorders including inflamed skin, external ulcers, abscesses, wounds, skin cancer, scar tissue, rashes, acne, and boils. Galbanum may be used for muscular stiffness and pain, rheumatism, and osteoarthritis.
