Copaiba Essential Oil In Brief
Copaiba Balsam Essential Oil, like Myrrh Essential Oil, and Frankincense Essential Oil, is a potent antioxidant.
However, it is the similarity of Copaiba Essential Oil to Hemp Essential Oil which is getting Copaiba Balsam Essential Oil all the attention.
Copaiba Aromatherapy Oil interacts with our Endocannabinoid system in a similar way to Hemp Essential Oil, pairing itself with CB2 receptors, which are located in our peripheral organs and immune system with a lot of them residing in the gut. By contrast CB1 receptors are mainly in the brain.
The BCP, or Beta-Caryophyllene, content of the Wild As The Wind Copaiba Balsam Essential Oil is close to 50%. The variance in BCP content between differing Copaiba Essential Oils ranges from c. 25% to 50%, with the higher amount determining a better quality aromatherapy oil.
Current research is revealing that Copaiba Essential Oil may very well prove to be anti-tumour / anti-cancer, as Hemp Essential Oil is proving to be. It may also, like Hemp Essential Oil, help minimise the discomfort of conventional protocols, such as Chemo etc. *Organic Sweet Orange Essential Oil is a brilliant anti-nausea, and is thought to be anti-cancer.

My Husband has suffered arthritis in his hand and finger joints for 5 years and has taken many pain killers and anti inflammatory pills over these years. He decided to give the copaiba oil a try and started on one drop mixed with coconut oil morning and night. After one week he upped it to two drops morning and two in the evening. He stopped taking other pain killers and now after 5 weeks takes no pain killers at all. The swelling in his hands has gone down and his fingers are now straight, we can honestly say that it really is like a miracle for him and he cant quite believe the difference it has made. He is a carpenter by trade and can now grip and use his tools like he used to.

Copaiba Essential Oil Interesting Fact :: Copaiba Aromatherapy Oil is thought by some to be a magnifier or ‘driver’, which would mean that when Copaiba Aromatherapy Oil is used with another essential oil, it would enhance the properties of the other oil. However, this is true of all essential oils. The potency of a blend of aromatherapy oils is always more intense than the sum of it’s parts. This means it’s possible to use smaller quantities of a more expensive essential oil, like Hemp Essential Oil or Sandalwood Essential Oil, in conjunction with Copaiba, and the Copaiba Essential Oil will enhance the healing properties of the other oils, and vice versa.
Twofer :: Copaiba Essential Oil can be used as a fixative in natural aromatics as can Gurjun Essential Oil. It is a base note in perfumery terms.
Copaiba Balsam Aromatherapy Oil For Internal Consumption
Like Hemp Essential Oil, Copaiba Balsam Essential Oil can be taken internally allowing it to interact directly with our Endocannabinoid system. However, Copaiba Balsam Essential Oil only interacts with CB2 receptors, which are found everywhere in the body aside from in the brain.
**Hemp Essential Oil interacts with CB1 receptors as well as CB2 receptors.
The adult internal dosage for Copaiba Balsam Essential Oil is one or two drops with a heaped teaspoon of Coconut Oil in the morning followed by one or two drops with Coconut Oil in the evening.
Everyone is different, and so there is no standarised dosage for everyone. It’s always advisable to start out using a low dose of Copaiba Balsam Essential Oil and increase until you find the dosage which works for you.
*Do not exceed 12 drops of essential oil per day, either taken internally or externally, and / or used individually or in combination with other essential oils. Do not exceed 12 drops of all essential oils daily.
**Internal consumption of essential oils is not advised for children under the age of 10 years of age.
***Do not heat the Coconut Oil, simply scoop it out of the jar, (it’s usually solid at room temperature in the UK),, drop the Copaiba Essential Oil on top and allow the Coconut Oil to melt in your mouth.
****Heating cold pressed oils damages the nutrient content.
Copaiba has really helped me! I am shocked with how well it worked!! I suffer from Endometriosis and the doctors put me on morphine all day everyday. I was sick of taking it, so when we went to Glastonbury and met the lovely Rachel she explained to me how well Copaiba essential oil works and how to use it. When we came home I got straight online and ordered this product! It has really helped my pain! I put it on in a morning and I can now work without being in pain.
My grandad suffers with really bad arthritis in his hands, fingers, shoulders and legs. I took my Copaiba essential oil when I went to see him and got him to put some on his hands to try! He is amazed by how well this works for him as well. He is in shock that it had really worked for him. I have now purchased a bigger bottle so my grandad can use it more often to help his pain too! My grandad normally only takes medication prescribed to him as he doesn’t believe in natural healing. But this has shown him that natural oils can help. He now has a completely different outlook due to this oil.
We can both say that this oil is a life changing miracle!!
I honestly can not thank Rachel enough for all of her help and for how amazingly this product works. I will be ordering more off you soon. Thank you again! 😊 Kayleigh x
