Description

Copaiba, or Copahu Balm (Latin name: Copaifera Officinalis), is a well-branched tropical tree that can grow up to 100 feet (ca. 30 meters) tall.

It has pinnate leathery leaves, and its blossoms are borne in whitish racemes. The flowers are white, small, and aromatic.

The fruit is a coriaceous legume containing only a single seed.

The part of the Copaiba tree used is the oleoresin (a clear yellow resin) accumulated in cavities within the trunk; it is obtained by making incisions in the tree trunk.

Although this resin is referred to as balsam, it is more of a natural oil; it is thick, clear, pale to golden yellow in color.

The oil is used in art restoration, restoring color to old paintings.

However, the most important properties of the copaiba tree are medicinal due to the oil.

Copaiba oil has been documented to have antibacterial activity.

It is used as a scenting agent in perfumes, soaps, creams, bubble baths, and lotions.

This herbal oil is also used as an emollient in lacquers and paint.

Copaiba is believed to have diuretic, disinfectant and stimulant properties.

Copaiba balsam has been found most beneficial in chronic mucous affections, such as chronic gonorrhea, bronchitis, irritable bladder conditions, gleet, leucorrhoea, chronic catarrh, chronic diarrhea, and obstinate piles.
