Copal is a healing herb that is believed to cleanse the spirit, help open the soul and stimulate imagination, intuition and creativity and is regarded as a grounding and calming fragrance. The Mayans regarded copal resin as extremely sacred, only daring touch it on their altars with special instruments, not their bare hands.
