Application
Copaiba balsam can be applied anywhere on the body. The aroma of balsam, applied lightly, makes a wonderful perfume.
Aromatic Considerations
Copaiba balsam is referred to as nature’s air freshener. This is because of balsam’s remarkable ability to absorb odors.
Emotional/Spiritual Aspects
The aroma of balsam seems to fill the room with feelings of friendship and neighborliness. This oil is very supportive of relationships.
Physical Aspects
Balsam oils are traditionally used for skin problems such as chapped skin, rashes, sensitive skin, poor circulation, and eczema. Balsam adds a woodsy, vanilla-like scent to blends. These blends make pleasant hand lotions and skin care products. Copaiba balsam has been used for years as an expectorant for bronchitis, coughs, and colds. This oil increases circulation without being a general stimulant. Copaiba balsam is effective for venous congestion, hemorrhoids, and varicose veins.
Cautions
Copaiba balsam makes the skin mildly photo-toxic where it has been applied. It is best to avoid sunlight on the treated areas of skin if you are applying this oil regularly.
