Benefits of Copaiba essential oil.
For hundreds of years, traditional healers in northeastern Brazil have used Copaiba trees for their health benefits.
The impressive health benefits of copaiba include:
- help soothe anxious feelings
- support the cardiovascular, nervous, digestive, immune, and respiratory systems.*
- has powerful antioxidant benefits.
- It can soothe and support the nervous system.
Copaiba vs CBD oil
Copaiba contains Beta-caryophyllene which activates the CB2 receptors in the endocannabinoid system – this makes it a powerful substitute for CBD oil.
 And unlike psychoactive cannabinoids like THC and CBD oil, which work on same cannabinoid receptors (CB1 and CB2), Copaiba is completely legal.
It is also less expensive than CBD oil.  Only one or two drops of copaiba oil can start affecting the body which make it a great choice as an alternative medicine option.
How Copaiba essential oil is sourced
Copaiba essential oil comes from fragrant tropical trees found in the rainforests of tropical South America that have been used for hundreds of years for their health benefits.

Copaiba Roller Recipes
Essential oil rollers are an easy and convenient and way to get the benefits of Copaiba. Topical use of an essential oil allows you to target the affected area. For example, if you have joint pain, you can use the roller directly on the joint for natural pain relief.
Topical application is popular because it is fast acting. The best way to use a roller is to roller it over pulse points such as the inside of your wrist or elbows, the back of the neck, or the bottoms of the feet.
To make a roller:
- Add the drops of essential oil to an empty roller (I use these)
- Top off the roller with your favorite carrier oil such as jojoba oil or fractionated coconut oil (I use this one).
- Pop the roller on and gently shake to mix everything
