The burning of Copal as incense has been a long tradition not just in India but there are records of its use in ancient Mayan civilization as well. In traditional worship rituals, the ancients were quick to realize that certain natural substances could be burned for the benefit it gives during such events. When Copal is burned, it gives off a wonderful woody, earthy smell that adds great freshness to the environs of a closed room. This fresh fragrance also gives a boost to the mental powers of a person and aids in one-pointed concentration, as needed during meditation.

The burning of Copal is also known to greatly alleviate stress and anxiety and has an almost instant calming effect on the human mind. If there is a period of emotional upheaval on a person and he is unable to get sound sleep, it is believed that letting the ambiance be filled with the fragrance of Copal brings an amazing calm and promotes sleep. We often hear the word “Stale Air” which is used to denote the negative atmosphere that seems to pervade in certain rooms that creates a gloomy, dark feeling. The burning of Copal Lumps is known to be a great cure for such an atmosphere prevailing in any place.

The ancient tribesmen were given to its regularly use for various social and religious ceremonies. It is believed that the tree from which Copal is derived was used for its medicinal properties for a cure against disease and keeping mosquitoes away.
