Balsam Heart

The hearts decorated with red beads and has a jute twine hanging loop.

Choice: spotty or tree

The Balsam Fir tree grows in the forests of Canada and the Northern US and was traditionally used as a herbal medicine by the American Indians. They used the herb as a tea to treat various disorders and as an inhalant to relieve headaches.
