The bark is burned during the winter months to purify and cleanse the house. Scatter on the floor and it will drive away evil, and when burned, exorcise the area of negativity. Balsam is also used in cleansing baths, and is burned to reverse and send back spells.
Branches of Balsam are placed above or over the bed to keep sickness far away (or, if they weren’t placed in time, aid the ill). In Japan it is customary to place Balsam Branches over the door of the house to ensure continual joy within, for the leaves are evergreen.
A cross made of Balsam placed before the fireplace keeps evil from entering through it. Balsam is also used in money spells, and its sawdust is a base for incenses.
