#unguent arhaic
- abie - An archaic regional variant historically used in certain Carpathian zones to denote the silver fir (Abies alba) or the pure resin extracted from conifer bark. In Romanian folk medicine, ointments prepared with 'abie' (animal fat mixed with resin and beeswax) were used empirically by village healers as powerful healing agents for open wounds or as chest balms against typhus and severe pneumonia.
