Botany
Copaiba Essential oil is an oil-resin derived from the trees of Copaiba Balsam - Copaifera Officinalis- widely cultivated in North & South America and Tropical Asia & Africa. The plants have thick short trunks and are well-branched. They can grow up to 30 meters in highly humid and temperate climates in sandy soil. They are mostly wildcrafted and sustainable rainforest resources.
The resin known as copaiba balsam accumulates in cavities of tree trunks. A clear thin colorless resin is collected by drilling holes into trunks. It thickens and darkens when it comes in contact with air and becomes pale yellow to a golden brown. It is a highly valued medicinal aromatic stimulant herb with a sharp bitter taste. It contains 30 to 90% essential oils and condensed tannins.
