Copaiba

This. Oil.

If you haven't heard of Copaiba essential oil, you're in the right place. I have had some pretty profound experiences just in the last 2 weeks! Even better news is that doTERRA did an early release of this special oil. So, after reading this, you can go order it right away!

First of all, I want to just highlight the spectacular chemistry of this oil. Copaiba comes from the resin of the copaiba tree in South America. It's not a thick oil, as some other resin-sourced oils are. Additionally, it has a surprisingly faint aroma. The main constituent in Copaiba is something called beta-caryophyllene. This is a chemical similar to cannabinoids found in cannabis that may protect nerve cells and have benefits for the cardiovascular and immune systems.

Beta-caryophellene affects the endo-cannabinoid system of the body, which has 2 receptors, the CB1 and CB2. Because Copaiba does not affect the CB1 receptor, only the CB2, we can get the therapeutic benefits of the oil without any psychoactive effects. It's important that we make a distinction between Copaiba oil and Cannabis oil. They are two chemically different oils with different effects, and depending on your beliefs, I think there can be a time and place for both. So while I'm not here to discuss the pros and cons of Cannabis or CBD oil, I would like to point out that Copaiba IS DIFFERENT. In fact, Copaiba contains the highest amount of Beta-Caryophellene among essential oils on the market, at 65%.

SO, now that we know THAT amazing information, let's talk about all body systems that can be positively affected by Copaiba:

• Liver  and Antioxidant support
• Cardiovascular health
• Sustain proper immune response
• Digestive support
• Support proper neurological function
• Proper respiratory function
• Decreases neuronal excitability
• Supports normal, controlled, inflammatory response

How about some practical tips:

AROMATIC

• Use two drops in a capsule, can be taken in the morning and evening
• Blend with Frankincense for increased cellular support
• Add two drops mixed with citrus in water
• Take one or two drops under the tongue each morning
• Blend with Peppermint for digestive support at mealtime

TOPICAL

• ​Apply directly over the affected area diluted in FCO
• Combine with Blue Tansy for soothing relief to skin irritations and blemishes
• Blend with facial moisturizer and Cedarwood

AROMATIC

• Breathe in the aroma periodically throughout the day to calm and soothe emotions and neurological activity
• Combine with citrus to elevate the mood
• Combine with Siberian Fir or a floral oil to create relaxation

​

In the past two weeks of using this oil, I've experienced some amazing benefits, regarding my feelings of anxiousness that were triggered by some trauma a few years ago. Additionally, we've begun using it on our son on the Autism Spectrum and his results have been equally as exciting!
