Liquidambar resin "was used to add a distinctive balsamic flavoring to the first pipe of tobacco Aztec Emperor Moctezuma shared with Conquistador Hernando Cortés. Spanish physician and New World explorer Francisco Hernández became an early convert to its value, claiming it had a range of healing properties. He claimed it was effective in treating gonorrhea and diphtheria, was a pain reliever and a sleep aid, and that it 'relieve[d] wind in the stomach.'"
