Copal (Various Types)

Copal is a sacred tree in Mesoamerican spiritual practices that serves a similar "cleansing" purpose to sage or palo santo.

It's also known as "rax pom" (pronounced rash pohm) or "copal pom."

We currently have it in two forms, which provide a different aroma and overall experience, and are useful for different purposes:

  1. Artisanal incense sticks: Made by hand in San Cristobal de las Casas, in the modern Mayan state of Chiapas, Mexico. The incense sticks can be burned like any incense.
  2. Pure resin: The sticky, unprocessed sap of the copal tree (also known as "rax pom"), harvested in Guatemala. The resin can be burned over hookah coals on a "copalero" or vaporized another way. The smoke and aroma are much thicker with the resin. This more traditional copal is what's used in ceremonies.
