Copaiba is all the rage right now especially since CBD oil usage is on the rise.
Below you will find many ways to support the body with Copaiba essential oil. I will also include differences between CBD oil and Copaiba and how they work in the body.
Copaiba oil has been used to support the nervous system, cardiovascular system, respiratory system, immune function, endocrine system, and digestive health. When I think of this oil I consider hormones, liver support, and balancing mood. It also supports tissues in our skin. It contains antioxidants and supports normal inflammatory response. Copaiba might reduce neurological excitation in tissues. However, it does not react with the CB1 receptor in the brain. Therefore, it does not offer any psychoactive effects. It does offer the same therapeutic benefits that other Cannabinoids offer. Copaiba contains 50% BetaCaroPhyllene also known as BCP which is responsible for the therapeutic affects that we experience.
Here is a list of other oils that contain a small amount of BCP: Black pepper-21%, Melissa 13%, Ylang Ylang, Clove, Helychrysum and Juniper Berry
