Copaiba Balsam Essential Oil – Wildcrafted

This viscous liquid appears dark when exposed to light and has a pungent, woody scent. Amazonian indigenous peoples used Copaiba resin in a variety of ways, especially for skin conditions. It was also used as an ointment to treat various diseases by the natives of northern and Brazil. Today Copaiba is used mostly for its calming and soothing qualities as well as its seemingly uncanny ability to ease the mind.
