ABOUT POM COPAL

Copal Pom is a traditional Central American resin used for incense, perfume and medicine.

Called Pom locally, Protium Copal is an important ceremonial incense ingredient and folk medicine of Meso Central American cultures.

The resin is used to treat a wide variety of skin problems and dissolves easily in vegetable oils for the preparation of a fragrant medicated oil salve or creme.

Pom Copal resin is scraped off the trees and wrapped in Banana leaves to form packages of about a pound (1/2 Kilo) each. See photos above.

The fragrance of Protium Copal essential oil is unique. It has a fresh green, fruity/citrus aroma layered with amber on top of an unusual funky musky base note.

It shares aromatic nuances with Madagascar Elemi more than any other resin I have smelled and is indeed a relative. Elemi, Protium Copal, Frankincense and Myrrh belong to the Burseraceae family, also known as the incense tree family.

In some cultures, Protium Copal is used to bind other aromatics such as Cedar leaves and aromatic woods and fragrant herbs. These are formed into balls and given as offerings on the hot coals of the fire. These aromatic balls are also sometimes called "Pom".
