$47.98

Copaiba

Botanical Name: Copaifera officinalis Botanical Family: Fabaceae (Leguminosae)

Quick Facts

·         Extraction Method: Steam Distillation (of the crude resin)

·         Part Used: Oleoresin (tapped from the trunk)

·         Aroma Note: Base

The Profile

Copaiba is a magnificent, towering tree native to the rainforests of South America, particularly the Amazon. Unlike many other oils, the resin is harvested by "tapping" the tree, similar to maple syrup. The essential oil is pale yellow with a gentle, woody, and slightly balsamic aroma. It is often referred to as a "magnifier" in aromatherapy because it can enhance the therapeutic effects of other oils when blended together.

Therapeutic Actions

Analgesic, Anti-inflammatory, Antiseptic (urinary and pulmonary), Antispasmodic, Bactericidal, Cicatrizant, Disinfectant, Diuretic, Expectorant, Stimulant (circulatory).

Usage & Benefits

·         Skin: Acne, chronic skin diseases, eczema, psoriasis, and wounds. It is highly prized for its ability to soothe inflammation and support the rapid healing of skin tissue.

·         Respiratory: Bronchitis, catarrh, and sore throats. It acts as an effective expectorant, helping to clear the airways of excess mucus.

·         Digestive: Occasionally used to support digestive health and ease stomach discomfort, though it is primarily favored for its inflammatory response.

·         Circulatory/Muscular: Arthritis, gout, muscular aches and pains, and rheumatism. It contains high levels of beta-caryophyllene, making it one of the most powerful natural anti-inflammatories available.

·         Genito-Urinary: Cystitis and urinary tract infections. It has a long history of use as a traditional kidney and bladder tonic.

Emotional Benefit

Copaiba is the "Oil of Revelation." It helps to bring hidden emotional issues to the surface, allowing for healing and release. It provides a deep sense of security and grounding, making it an excellent companion for those who feel plagued by guilt or deep-seated shame, helping them to move forward with a clearer conscience.

The "At Home" Remedies

1.       Skin Soothing Serum: Add 2 drops of Copaiba to a teaspoon of Rosehip or Jojoba oil and apply to inflamed skin or blemishes to reduce redness and speed up recovery.

2.      Soothing Muscle Compress: For persistent joint pain, add 3 drops to a bowl of warm water. Soak a cloth and apply to the affected area to help "cool" the inflammation.

3.       Restorative Bath: Mix 4 drops with a teaspoon of carrier oil or honey and add to a warm bath to calm the nervous system and ease full-body tension after a taxing day.
