'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, the daughter of Egypt: in vain shalt thou use many medicines; for thou shalt not be cured.

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