Comfort found in herbal medicine (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

balm

'comfort' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'in herbal medicine' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'BALM' is hidden within 'herbal medicine'.

'found' is the link.

(Other definitions for balm that I've seen before include "Soothing herb" , "skin cream" , "Soothing stuff for lamb" , "Something soothing" , "It comforts, soothes" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
