A resinous substance extracted from a South American tree, used historically in varnishes, medicines, and incense.
From Portuguese 'copaíba' or 'copaiba,' derived from Tupi indigenous language of Brazil. The resin comes from Copaifera trees native to the Amazon region, used by indigenous peoples for centuries.
Capivi resin has antimicrobial properties that European medicine discovered centuries after Amazonian peoples had already used it—it's been used to treat wounds and respiratory issues for at least 500 years!
