Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Copaiba balsam has a long history of traditional use in South American herbal medicine, particularly for urinary tract issues. Indigenous peoples and traditional healers have used copaiba oil-resin as a diuretic and to address bladder and urinary tract discomfort, believing it to have soothing and antimicrobial properties. However, scientific research specifically investigating copaiba balsam’s effects on the bladder or broader urinary system is limited and mostly preclinical. A few in vitro and animal studies suggest potential antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, but these are not specific to the bladder and do not provide sufficient evidence for efficacy or safety in humans. Thus, while the use of copaiba balsam for bladder support is grounded in traditional practices, there is minimal scientific validation for this application. Clinical trials and rigorous studies are lacking, so its use for bladder health should be considered primarily traditional, with weak evidence supporting its effectiveness.
