'Balm' in the Bible

Is there no balm in Gilead? is there no physician there? why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?

Go up into Gilead, and take balm, O virgin daughter of Egypt: in vain dost thou use many medicines; there is no healing for thee.

Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed: wail for her; take balm for her pain, if so be she may be healed.
