Description

Copaiba essential oil is derived from the resin of the copaiba tree which can grow upwards of more than 100 feet and can be found in tropical South America. Copaiba oil is widely used in cosmetic products including soaps, creams, lotions, and perfumes. Since the 16th century, copaiba essential oil has been utilized in traditional health practices by the natives of north and northeastern Brazil. Similar to Black Pepper essential oil, Copaiba can help soothe anxious feelings and it can be applied to the skin to promote a clear, smooth complexion. Taken internally, Copaiba essential oil supports the health of the cardiovascular, immune, digestive, nervous, and respiratory systems.* Although Copaiba does not contain cannabinoids, the main component caryophyllene may be neuroprotective and have cardiovascular and immune benefits.* It’s also a powerful antioxidant that promotes immune health.*

  • Provides antioxidant support when ingested.*

Medicinal Uses

In the 21st century, studies have shown that the beneficial effects of Copaiba are due to its anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, anti-tetanus, antiseptic and antihemorrhagic properties.

In Brazil, studies on the medicinal plants, especially Copaiba oil-resin, are documented in one rat study to have no effect on healing a severed intestine.

  1. Yes doTERRA’s Copaiba can be taken internally.. As an CPTG – Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade oil, it can be used Aromatically, Topically and Internally. I replaced the drip cap with a glass dropper and just place a couple drops under my tongue in the morning, I prefer this method because I also use the oil in blend for topical use to help with calming and reduce swelling… but you can also get Copaiba in a soft-gel making it easier to take as a supplement.
