Copaiba

You know that crazy friend who can do fifty different things and is great at all of them? The one who makes you a little jealous sometimes? (Everybody has one, let’s be real.) Well if essential oils were people, Copaiba would be that friend.

Copaiba oil is distilled from the resin of a Brazilian perennial tree, and it’s extremely versatile. For one thing, Copaiba oil is wonderful for your skin. It helps with excess scar tissue, soothes itchy skin, clears up acne, and calms many inflamed skin conditions.

It also eases muscular pain and tension, and helps with arthritis, asthma, bronchitis, and more. It may even be able to help with Alzheimer’s and Dementia. Not to mention it smells like the woods. Who doesn’t like that?
