Copaiba: The Miracle Oil

Copaiba essential oil has quickly gained the nickname as the miracle oil since its release.  After writing a post about copaiba, we’ve received many questions about how to apply the oil, so we wanted to share a little more about what we found! This essential oil is truly amazing with its powerful healing abilities, making it absolutely essential to your inventory. We want to help you understand a little of the science behind copaiba’s powerful properties, and then we’ll dive in to a few uses of this miraculous oil.

First, let’s talk about cannabinoids. That’s right—you’ve heard of cannabis oil and marijuana. Some cannabinoids are illegal due to their highly addictive nature. Recent studies have proven that the addictive nature of these substances is caused by their connection to the CB1 receptor in the body. This receptor allows for the healing and wonderful health properties to enter the body, but it all comes at the expense of adverse psychological issues and addictions. Recent studies have shown that if these cannabinoids could connect only to the CB2 receptor, then there would not be adverse psychological effects. However, this is much more difficult to achieve with these CBDs. Although cannabis oil is not addictive, it is incredibly expensive for a high-quality batch.

And that’s where copaiba essential oil comes in. Copaiba contains some of the same chemical properties as cannabinoids, but it is entirely safe and non-addictive. Copaiba bonds with the CB2 receptor, leading to a myriad of possible health benefits without bonding with the CB1 receptor—preventing possible addiction. This essential oil contains no THC, so it won’t show up as a false positive on drug tests; not to mention that copaiba contains a higher amount of BCP than high-quality cannabis oil, meaning that it is even more effective.

All the research is very interesting, but let’s get down to how to put it to the test. First, copaiba is a natural magnifier or enhancer, meaning that it can enhance the benefits of any oil it is blended with. This makes it extremely valuable in any blend, especially when combined with Roman chamomile, cedarwood, sandalwood, frankincense, and ylang ylang.

Copiaba has very powerful properties and can act as a pain reliever. Many people have inquired about the most effective application method. The only answer we can give is that it is entirely subjective. What works for one person may not work for others, especially when it comes to pain management. Our rule of thumb is to apply the oil topically when the pain feels topical. However, if you are experiencing internal pain or nerve pain, you may want to take the oil internally in a capsule or beverage. It would also be extremely effective to consult a reflexology chart to know where to apply the oil for specific conditions.

This essential oil has many other incredible uses, and we advise you to consult our “Essential Oil Spotlight: Copaiba” post for more information and usage instructions. Because copaiba has so many possibilities, we would absolutely love to hear your experiences with this oil. We are all learning, so we can all help teach each other. Let us know how you have used this oil to help you and those you know!
