The oil/resin has many traditional uses among people of the Amazon and Central America.
It has a very aromatic scent, is light gold in color and has a mild bitter to pungent taste. The chemical constituents of the oil is predominantly caryophyllene, as well as sesquiterpine hydrocarbons.
In terms of medicinal usage, its use dates all the way back to the 16th century in Brazil, where it has been used both internally and externally for the treatment of many diseases. Many studies have been conducted in Brazil, documenting its wide effects for medicinal usage. The Yaviza people of Panama used the resin with honey and it was given to newborn babies, as it was believed to impart knowledge and protect them from hexes. In recent research, the oil has been found to have anti-inflammatory activity, as well as anti-tumor, anti-tetanus, anti-septic and anti-hemorrhagic properties.
