Copaiba Oil: Essential for Body and Mind

Copaiba is my feature oil of the week. This amazing natural substance is harvested from the copaiba tree, which has more than 70 species and mostly found growing South America. This past Monday, I sat in a zoom class on stress, anxiety, and sleeplessness. If I had to choose what most people I know struggle with regularly, it would be those three things. It seems like once you become a mom, you never truly sleep a full night again. 

I am trying to focus on one oil a week, and experiment in the ways recommended. This is the kind of girl I am, I cannot recommend something unless I know it works.

The only way to know that is by testing it out myself.  

My first test was using Copaiba essential oil under my feet at night with Serenity Oil. They both aid with sleeplessness and work well together. I have to say, I used it all week and can concur with that fact. It helps me fall asleep faster and rest better. I am also mixing them together in the diffuser at night. If you had to describe the aroma, it would be peaceful and calming – which makes perfect sense! 

One of the things I learned was that Copaiba essential oil works with neurotransmitters to relax your body physiologically. It contains β-caryophyllene, a cannabinoid, like CBD and THC But Copaiba is actually more efficient than CBD and without the THC. that shows up in drug tests.

I took note of the information and listened to the testimony of others. It was working wonders for them, and I was grateful I hadn’t been feeling stress lately. Of course, the very next morning, that changed.

I was getting DMs from one friend, trying to catch up on social media, reaching out to customers, and getting texts from another friend – all at one time. I am sure many of you know how that is – especially when you work from home because of COVID-19.  

Anyway, I needed a break and got up to eat some cereal. We have 8 boxes in there, but not the ONE I buy for me. I called my husband freaking out and all I hear in the background is ding ding ding. I snapped and slammed down the phone.  

The zoom class popped into my head and I went running upstairs to get the Copaiba.

It was the perfect opportunity to put this to the test. (Funny how these things happen) I am placing a dab behind my ears, neck, and rubbing it on my temples while running to the diffuser. Put some in there, add Wild Orange for energy and mood lift, turn it on, and put my face over the diffuser to take a few breaths.  

Ten minutes later, I texted my husband and apologized. If it didn’t happen to me, I wouldn’t have believed it.  Then I put a drop of Copaiba oil under my tongue and wore a smile for the rest of the day.

That night, I put it to the test on my husband and Isabella.

One drop under Isabella’s tongue and another under Freddy’s. Yes, the family members are now my human guinea pigs. That’s not as bad as it sounds. DoTERRA oils are 100% natural and certified top-grade, so they are safe – no worries!

Isabella reported 15 minutes later that she was VERY relaxed. Freddy said he felt a little relaxed but wasn’t sure. I gave him another drop and ten minutes later … he was sleeping with his mouth open.

Gave a sample to my niece and nephew, and I am happy to report they loved it, and I quote; 

“Thank you so much! Those drops are amazing! We’ve slept better in the past two nights than any time in the past several years!

Do you need more?

Copaiba essential oil is a great companion and blends well with other oils. It is an anti-inflammatory, contains powerful antioxidant properties, and supports the immune system. It is also known for its healing and soothing benefits for skincare.

So now this has become my favorite oil! I know, I know … I keep saying that every week … but I can’t help it!

Any questions? Ask away! Want to shop? Here you go …
