'Caring Supportive Healing '
 
Copaiba is well known for its tremendous medical properties and serves as a divine teacher to immediately boost the immune system. This Rapé delivers a soothing presence fulfilling the body with comfort and care while at the same time relaxing the mind.

The spirit being Copaíba is represented as a tree with a tall open canopy native to Latin America and West Africa with a strong presence in the Amazon rainforest. It is commonly 10-40 meters in height with its flowers being small and creamy-green in color. Copaíba grows fruits, which are up to 3 cm long and reddish when ripe. Other common names are Copaíbeira and Pau-de-óleo.

It has been used by Indigenous tribes for many thousands of years. Some of the main functions are said to be treating skin diseases, insect bites and healing wounds. The Indigenous people noticed that the animals rubbed themselves against the trunk of the Copaiba tree when they had some kind of injury and discovered many more medicinal benefits testing it on their own bodies.

Copaíba helps unclog pores and control oiliness, treats acne, reduces eczema, takes care of psoriasis and diminishes the appearance of pimples. It keeps the skin soft and healthy through moisturizing it going as far as reduction of scars by minimizing their appearance. Other positive effects for example are strengthening hair strands leading to reducing hair loss and helping to relieve itching on the scalp.

Copaíba is widely known throughout many different native ethnic groups and used in many Amazon rainforest regions. All parts of the Copaíbeira tree, such as leaves and bark, have medicinal applications, but it is the oil extracted from the resin of the oilwood that is often utilized in the preparation of the medicine. Tribes like the Tucanos or Huni Kuin use its ashes to make Rapé with this divine spirit. The sacred mixture helps sharpen the memory and fights anxiety. Many make the experience of feeling lightness and a well-being to the body after its intake.

Copaíba oil is known as the "oil of life" which can give some users a more aromatic experience. Rapé from Copaíba is strong and recommended for sporadic use only.

Copaíba can even enhance our health creating long spans without colds, flu, coughs or bronchitis as it has a constant cleansing effect on the nostrils, removing mucus and bacteria.

Its Rapé contains a high level of beta-caryophyllene, a cannabinoid noted for anti-inflammatory to relief not only headaches and migraines but many more diseases. It was discovered that the oil could be used as an antiseptic in the urinary and respiratory tracts, and could even combat bronchial asthma with its strong anti-inflammatory, expectorant and antimicrobial properties.
