Balsam Copaiba - Copaifera officinalis

Distilled from the Gum/Resin of the tree, Balsam Copaiba is an excellent anti-inflammatory oil. The research on this oil shows that it has been found most beneficial in cases of chronic nasal congestion, bronchitis, irritable bladder disorders, skin conditions, and chronic diarrhea. I have personally seen it be effective for inflammation, fungal conditions, and relieving pain.
