Copaiba



Copaifera officinalis- steam distilled from the crude resin/balsam of the tree.  Warm, honey like, creamy-woody scent.  Used as a fixative.  Combining COPAIBA and FRANKINCENSE creates a high spiritual and emotional frequency oil blend. (Mark Schreuder) The natives of the Amazon use Copaiba to connect with the Creator in their spiritual practices..  Like frankincense, there are a variety of species including Copaifera langsdorffii, and Copaifera reticulata. There are subtle differences in the chemical makeup of each and the research discusses most of them.
