Copaiba Essential Oil

Copaiba is an essential oil from copaiba trees in the Amazon rainforest. The tree, copaifera officinalis, is native to Central and South America and grows about 30 to 40 meters high.

Copaiba, similar to Black Pepper, can help soothe anxious feelings and, when taken internally, supports a healthy immune and cardiovascular system.

What does Copaiba smell & taste like?

Copaiba Essential Oil has a woodsy and nutty flavour with a slight hint of spice. 

How do you use Copaiba?

Copaiba Essential Oil can be used aromatically, internally, and topically. Depending on the method of use, the benefits of copaiba can be far-reaching. When using internally, be sure to dilute 1 drop in 4 fluid ounces of liquid, or use a veggie capsule.
Aromatically
  • Add 3-4 drops to a diffuser to feel more relaxed and calm
​
Internally
  • Add 1 to 2 drops to water, juice, or tea to support the health of the cardiovascular, immune, digestive, nervous, and respiratory system
    • Provides antioxidant support when ingested
    • Take internally to help soothe and calm the nervous system

Topically
  • Apply topically combined with a carrier oil or a facial moisturizer to help keep skin clean and clear, and to help reduce the appearance of blemishes

Tip: When taking Copaiba Essential Oil internally, use a carrier such a honey to help the essential oil disperse evenly throughout a liquid.

Science Behind Copaiba

doTERRA Copaiba essential oil is quickly becoming a fast favourite because of its many uses. Much of this comes down to the chemistry behind Copaiba essential oil which contains a high level of beta-caryophyllene - the highest levels known to the essential oil world to date.

This is significant because, according to European scientists, beta-caryophyllene has cannabinoid-like properties. Like many other cannabinoids and terpenes, beta-caryophyllene targets the body’s CB2 receptors.

But, it altogether ignores the CB1 receptors that are involved in creating the high associated with cannabis and the THC cannabinoid. Put more plainly, the benefits of Copaiba essential oil have the potential to profoundly impact the endocannabinoid system and support healthy cell growth.

More facts about Copaiba VS CBD:
  • BCP (beta-caryophyllene) is the dietary type of cannabinoid and is different from CBD as it directly affects the CB2 receptors and is present in a much higher amount
  • Copaiba is much less expensive than CBD
  • 100% drug free with zero risk of containing THC and 100% legal
  • Not from the cannabis plant so using Copaiba has 0% chance of affecting a drug test and does not alter your mood!

Sourcing of Copaiba

The sourcing of doTERRA essential oils is very important to help meet the standards and integrity of essential oil product. Co-impact sourcing helps communities where essential oil products are harvested by creating jobs and income opportunities for people in countries around the world.

Watch the behind the scenes video below where, in order to meet the harvesters and learn more about the process of doTERRA Copaiba oil creation, Emily Wright and Dr. Hill traveled to Brazil. Some of the harvesters are second and third generation, and are deeply proud of their work.
​The resin is mostly harvested between January and June, when the water is highest. The harvesters then go to mature trees they have found in the forest to tap the oleoresin, not unlike the way maple sap is harvested.

​The harvester drills into the trunk in one spot; the first time only a small amount of resin will be collected. The hole is then sealed off with woods. Six months later, about one liter of resin will be produced from the tree, which contains about 50 percent Copaiba oil.

Copaiba essential oil is also a powerful antioxidant that promotes immune health. Although Copaiba does not contain psychoactive cannabinoids, the main component caryophyllene may be neuroprotective and have cardiovascular and immune benefits. #copaiba #essentialoils #painrelief
