Regardless of how you pronounce it (and there are at least 3 ways I know of, and a lot of hot debate on the topic) , copaiba oil has quickly become one of my favorites and a staple in our house. Grown in South America - particularly Brazil, it's been a part of the doTERRA line since 2017. According to the literature that came with it: "So much information about Copaiba essential oil is focused on beta-caryophyllene, and for good reason. Not only does this sesquiterpene make up approximately 50 percent of CPTG® Copaiba oil, but it is also an amazing compound with health benefits that have been widely researched. To start, it’s a cannabinoid that has influential effects on CB2 receptors and a host of promising therapeutic benefits. It also has powerful antioxidant properties and supports a number of body systems when taken internally.* "
That's a lot of scientific information. Which is awesome, because doTERRA is very big on science as a primary indicator of an oil use and efficacy...imagine that.
For me, what this all means is that it's a good go-to for overworked muscles, whole body wellness support, and to calm the occasional *anxious feeling. In fact, last year (2018) the company introduced the copaiba softgel, which has worked it's way into my daily wellness routine.
