Description

Copaiba essential oil is a mild, sweet, and resinous oil with remarkable anti-inflammatory, pain-relieving, and skin-soothing properties. Steam distilled or tapped from the resin of the Copaifera tree native to South America, Copaiba is cherished for its ability to calm the nervous system, ease physical discomfort, and support skin regeneration. With a warm, gentle scent and powerful internal actions, it is often compared to CBD oil due to its high content of beta-caryophyllene.

Benefits & Uses

  • Powerful anti-inflammatory – Eases joint and muscle discomfort naturally

  • Supports skin healing – Helps with acne, scarring, and irritated skin

  • Emotional balancing – Calms anxiety and promotes emotional grounding

  • Promotes respiratory wellness – Gently clears and soothes the airways

  • Boosts immunity – Supports overall wellness and stress resilience

  • Mild and versatile – Ideal for sensitive individuals and daily use

Active Components & How They Work

Copaiba’s therapeutic value comes from its exceptionally high levels of β-Caryophyllene, a sesquiterpene with strong pharmacological properties:

  • Beta-Caryophyllene – Anti-inflammatory and analgesic; binds to CB2 receptors in the body (similar to CBD), reducing pain and inflammation

  • Alpha-Humulene – Enhances anti-inflammatory effects and supports immune defense

  • Delta-Cadinene and Bergamotene – Contribute to Copaiba’s grounding, balancing aroma

These compounds make Copaiba unique among essential oils, offering powerful relief with exceptional skin safety and emotional calm.

Energetic, Spiritual & Symbolic Properties

  • Chakras: Root and Heart – grounding, restoration, emotional harmony

  • Color Correspondence: Brown and Green – healing, calm, rootedness

  • Planetary Influence: Saturn and Earth – structure, stability, long-term healing

Energetically, Copaiba provides emotional resilience, deep grounding, and subtle spiritual restoration. It’s ideal for emotional processing, trauma recovery, and reconnecting with the body.
