Copaiba Oil or Copal
Eases Physical Discomforts

Copaiba Oil is a wonderful essential oil that has traditionally been used to support the body's natural response to irritation and support healthy digestion*.  From the oleoresin of the Copaiba Tree.

It is harvested similarly to how we collect maple syrup! It is taken right from the tree through a pipe drilled into the tree! The essential oil is then produced by steam distilling the copal (oleoresin collected from the tree).

Copaiba is often used interchangeably with copal oil, but my understanding is that copaiba oil is technically more accurate if using the essential oil from the copaiba tree, Copaifera reticulata. This genus species is also the only species that is indigenous to the Amazon Region.

Copaiba is a type of copal resin. But, there are other tree resins as well that can be classified under “copal” so we will stick with copaiba oil because it is the one I personally use and can testify to.

Did you know that copaiba oil known to have some of the highest levels of beta-caryophyllene in the world?

Yes it has been documented to contain 50 percent beta-caryophyllene. Helichrysum and Clove essential oils have 5 to 12 percent of the same compound!

What is Beta-Caryophyllene?

Beta-caryophyllene has been extensively studied for its ability to modulate the body's response to irritation*.

Other essential oils besides helichrysum and clove that contain beta-caryophyllene are basil, oregano, black pepper, rosemary and cinnamon bark oils.

Experience Copiaba Essential Oil

What is the Genus Species? Copaifera officinalis

Why is this Information Important? As described above in the introduction, it is always important to know the genus species and the part of the plant being used when using and purchasing essential oils.

There are at least 3 different species of Copaiba and a dozen or so common names that are included under the umbrella of copal or copaiba. Additionally, some companies are marketing the bark of the tree which is not at all the same as the resin.

Remember, even though species may share some similar properties they are not at all the same. Therefore, just knowing the common name of a plant is usually not enough information.

What is Nan's Mental (Mindset), Emotional and Spiritual Interpretation of this Oil?

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 for the soul and takes us away from our true purpose and our connection to the divine

Copaiba allows us to see our emotional wounds and offers assistance with emotional clearing while providing spiritual protection. For those who combat stress at work or home, copaiba offers security and grounding. It assists us with staying in the moment rather than projecting backwards or forward.

What Chakra is Affected? The solar plexus chakra.

What is the Corresponding Chakra Color? Yellow
