History & Culture
Copaiba resin has been used by indigenous peoples of South America for centuries. Brazilian healers traditionally applied it topically for skin support and used it in purification rituals. The resin was one of the first botanical exports from the Amazon to European markets.
Copaiba represents surrender and releasing resistance. It supports letting go of unnecessary struggle and encourages gentleness toward oneself.
