Archaeology cat Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Hey all! So, is it possible for chrism oil to be made without balsam? Fun fact - I'm now so allergic to balsam, incense, perfumes, and nightshades that I can't be around them at all without having crazy reactions. My eldest is being confirmed this year, so I'm curious. I'm prepared to just keep my distance and take all the antihistamines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIKolbe Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 I don't think it *has* to be balsam, but it normally is. interesting google book commentary... here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archaeology cat Posted April 3, 2022 Author Share Posted April 3, 2022 Thanks. At the very least I’ll ask the priest to go light and then make my son wash it off as soon as he can if it has balsam in it. Because I’d rather not end up in urgent care again anytime soon.
