Body-FeedbackPhysical benefits of copaiba essential oil
Copaiba essential oil, a resin from the copal family, has the most potent chemical makeup of all the essential oils to support a healthy and normal inflammatory cycle for tissue regeneration. Copaiba does this by disrupting the pro-inflammatory cytokines secretion that causes chronic inflammation.*
In Ecuador and Brazil, where copaiba is harvested, it is believed to amplify the effects of the other essential oils combined with it. Layering this oil on top of or adding it to your other blends is ideal for anyone who has tender meridian alarm points – indicating inflammation in a meridian.*
As evidenced by copaiba essential oil’s ability to benefit acne and ulcers, this oil supports healthy epithelial tissue regeneration. In addition to skin cells, epithelial tissue lines the hollow areas of the body and many of the endocrine glands. Copaiba stimulates the body and mind by providing healthy, cortisol-like properties that energize cells. This oil is perfect for supporting adrenal function and healthy aging.*
Copaiba essential oil has a mild aroma and blends easily with other essential oils. Using a few drops of this oil in the morning can help get your day going and adds a pleasant flavor to your favorite morning beverage (as long as manufacturer approves for internal use).*

Emotional benefits of copaiba essential oil
Copaiba, as with other oils high in sesquiterpenes, targets the brain and emotional health. The combination of high sesquiterpenes, high anti-inflammatory properties, and a very mild aroma creates a powerful oil for soothing and cooling heated emotions. By adding copaiba to other blends, you will enhance the other blends ability soothe stored memories from physical or emotional trauma. Tender areas and divots on the scalp are referrals areas for specific regions of the brain and recurring emotional patterns. You can test copaiba and other blends using Body-Feedback methods and determine if the oils will help to rejuvenate the area of the brain underneath the tender scalp. Copaiba’s adaptogenic properties encourage the body and mind to come to a place of balance and harmony in any situation.*
