Copiaba Essential Oil is an anti-inflamatory giant & Heart healthy! (2024)
One of myfavorite oils... Copaiba. Feel a difference in just 10 minutes! It's totally amazing! Copaiba (pronounced “Ko-pah-ee-bah”) essential oil is potentially the highest anti-inflammatory substance known to man either natural or synthetic. It has greater anti-inflammatory action than Ibuprofen or even Cortisone – and with NO SIDE EFFECTS! Copaiba decreases PGE2 production, and it is a Cox-2 inhibitor – making it very good for heart health (similar to why you would take an aspirin a day).
Copaiba is harvested in the same way we collect maple syrup by drilling a pipe into the tree. The essential oil is then produced by steam distilling the copal or oleoresin as it’s known that was collected from the tree.
Chemically Copaiba is very high in B-Caryophyllene. In Clove essential oil, B-Caryophyllene is only found in about 8% of the oil concentration. In Copaiba – it is 55-60% – the highest of any known essential oil. B-Caryophyllene is a Sesquiterpene. Sesquiterpenes have the general property of deleting faulty information in cellular memory that can cause disease. They can cross the blood brain barrier, and play a number of vital biochemical functions in both plants and animals. Sesquiterpenes have properties like hemoglobin in that they can carry oxygen molecules throughout the body and into the cells themselves.
Copaiba medical can be used as a diuretic, laxative, a stimulant, it is good for congestion, mucus build up, and is anticarcinogenic. Copaiba along with all other essential oils has the ability to bring the body into homeostasis – so if you do not need a laxative or stimulant effect – don’t worry – you won’t get that action.

Copaiba is a very mild oil and can be applied topically NEAT, it can be applied to a newborn baby, bird, or other small animal. For very small animals, I would still dilute the oil, just as they do not require a full drop.
Orally, many people don’t even detect a flavor. It can be dripped directly under the tongue, taken in a capsule, taken in a “shot of juice”, or mixed with some food, honey, or Agave syrup. Dogs will eat it in just about any form, and cats generally eat it in a little canned food. Copaiba is approved as a food additive.
Aromatically, Copaiba haslong been used for bleeding and internal and external wounds. If we are holding onto emotional wounds that no longer serve us, then we are projecting a victim consciousness into the future. This creates inner conflict and anxiety for the soul. Copaiba allows us to see our wounds and offers assistance with emotional clearing while providing spiritual protection. For those who combat stress and anxiety at work or home, copaiba offers security and grounding. It assists us with staying in the moment rather than projecting backwards or forward.
Copaiba oil has no known contraindications. It is Generally Regarded as Safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used in small doses (less than 5 ml). Repeated use may result in contact sensitization. Can be used on small children as well as pets.
