Native Brazilians used copaiba centuries before European settlers arrived. Manoel Tristaon, a Portuguese priest, noted 1625 that it was used to treat wounds and eliminate scars.

Copaiba is also found in southern Africa and tropical South America; drilling holes in the trunk yields oleo-resin, also known as copaiba, a volatile oil and resin mixture.
