Balm is an herbal journal for home herbalists: follow every tincture, salve and syrup from first pour to finished bottle, keep your home apothecary stocked, log drying batches and save your own formulas. TRACK EVERY PREPARATION Log tinctures, glycerites, infused oils, salves, tea blends, syrups, vinegar extracts, oxymels, poultices, hydrosols, herbal honeys and fire ciders. Record the herbs, plant parts and amounts, your menstruum and how often to shake, and set the maceration period. Balm counts the days, lists on the home screen what is due within 3 days or ready to press or strain, and keeps the batch results: final yield, storage, shelf life, dosage notes and your rating. YOUR HOME APOTHECARY Keep an inventory of every herb with plant part, form (dried, fresh, frozen, powdered, cut and sifted), source, harvest date and place, amount, container, storage location, potency date and quality notes. See what is running low or nearing its potency date. Track supplies too: menstruum, oils, beeswax and containers. HARVEST AND DRYING LOG Record each fresh harvest with plant part, drying method and location, fresh weight and dried weight. If you allow notifications, Balm reminds you to check a drying batch after 7 days. FORMULAS Save your blends with purpose, ingredients with their proportions and roles, rationale, dosage, duration and cautions, so you can make your best preparations again.
