Description: The resin is extracted from the wild growing trees. They are found mainly in the South American rain forests - particularly Brazil, Columbia, Peru and Venezuela. They have considerable branches and can grow up to 55 to 90 feet in height. The resin is harvested by tapping or drilling holes into the trunk of the tree. In this way it is much like how rubber trees are tapped. Although this resin is often referred to as balsam, it is not a true balsam.

The fragrance of this oil is very light but in perfumes it comes out and holds the others together and makes them last longer - known as a fixative.
Medicinally it is a dynamo!
