doTERRA Copaiba
Grounding & Woody
Kopaiba
Botanical name: Copaifera reticulata, officinalis, coriacea and langsdorffii
Country of origin: Amazon rainforest, Brazil
Application: internal, external, aromatic
Copaiba originates from South America, particularly the Amazon rainforest, and has been used by indigenous peoples in the region for centuries as a traditional remedy.
Indigenous tribes in the Amazon region used copaiba resin by drilling small holes in the trees to extract the resin. The resin was then used for a variety of medicinal purposes.
However, the use of copaiba oil was only developed later, when distillation-based extraction of essential oils became popular in the 19th century.
Although copaiba oil does not contain psychoactive cannabinoids, its main component, caryophyllene, may have neuroprotective properties and cardiovascular and immunological benefits. It is also a potent antioxidant that promotes immune system health.
What does Copaiba smell like?
Copaiba oil has a warm, woody, and slightly sweet scent with an earthy undertone. The fragrance is soft and soothing, with a balsamic character that is often described as pleasant and relaxing. It has a subtle yet powerful presence, making it well-suited for promoting inner peace and balance.

The quality and purity of essential oils are crucial for their effectiveness. doTERRA guarantees that its essential oils are 100% pure and contain no synthetic additives, fillers, or harmful chemicals. They are neither diluted nor blended with inferior oils.
It is important to note that the purity and authenticity of essential oils can vary depending on the manufacturer. Therefore, when selecting essential oils, it is advisable to choose trusted brands that test their products for quality, purity, and efficacy and provide transparent information about their sourcing practices.
Beta Caryophyllen
Beta-caryophyllene is a significant component of copaiba oil and gives it many of its therapeutic properties. It is a sesquiterpene that occurs naturally in many essential oils and plants, including the resin of the copaiba tree.
Beta-caryophyllene is known for its soothing properties. It interacts with the body's endocannabinoid system, which is responsible for regulating irritation responses. It binds to cannabinoid receptors, particularly the CB2 receptor, and can thus reduce and alleviate processes in the body.
Another interesting aspect of beta-caryophyllene is its ability to act as a selective agonist at CB2 receptors without causing psychoactive effects like THC (tetrahydrocannabinol). This means that beta-caryophyllene can utilize the beneficial properties of cannabinoid receptors without triggering the impairment or psychotropic effects typically associated with the activation of CB1 receptors in the brain.
This unique property makes copaiba oil and its main component beta-caryophyllene particularly valuable in aromatherapy and naturopathy.
Difference between Beta Caryophyllene & THC
Beta-caryophyllene and THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) are two different chemical compounds with different properties and effects.
Chemical structure
Beta-caryophyllene is a naturally occurring sesquiterpene found in many essential oils and plants, including the resin of the copaiba tree. It belongs to the terpene group and is responsible for the characteristic fragrance of many essential oils.
THC, on the other hand, is a cannabinoid found in the cannabis plant. It is a psychoactive substance and causes the well-known states of intoxication or "high" associated with the consumption of marijuana or cannabis.
Effects on the body
Beta-caryophyllene has calming properties. It interacts with the body's endocannabinoid system and binds specifically to the CB2 receptor, resulting in a soothing effect without triggering psychoactive effects. Therefore, it has no intoxicating effect.
THC, on the other hand, acts as a cannabinoid on the endocannabinoid system by binding to both the CB1 and CB2 receptors. Activation of the CB1 receptor in the brain leads to the psychoactive effects associated with marijuana use.
use
THC is primarily used for its psychoactive effects and is illegal in many countries due to its intoxicating properties. It is used both medicinally and recreationally.
Overall, beta-caryophyllene and THC are two different compounds with different properties and effects.
While beta-caryophyllene in copaiba oil is valued for its therapeutic benefits, THC is controversial due to its psychoactive effects and potential for abuse. It is important to understand the differences between these compounds and to use them responsibly.
The synergy between essential oils and energy work
Essential oils are known not only for their pleasant fragrances but also for their ability to work on a subtle level . They possess a high energetic frequency that can influence the body's energy system. The vibrations of these oils can help release blockages in the energy body and harmonize the vibrations, which is crucial in many energy-based practices.
When working with energy centers , such as the chakras, essential oils act as amplifiers by stimulating specific vibrations and supporting the flow of energy. They can help open energy pathways and balance vibrations at a higher level, promoting deeper harmony between body and mind.
The use of essential oils in spiritual practices such as meditation, yoga, or Reiki can intensify the energetic process by raising energy levels and strengthening the connection to the higher self . The vibrations of essential oils support the natural flow of energy and help achieve a deeper spiritual opening. Through their specific influence on the energetic body, they promote the release of negative or stagnant energies that could block the natural flow.
Essential oils also help promote mental clarity and stabilize emotional balance by raising energetic vibration. They facilitate the achievement of focused, meditative states and support the healing process through the vibration of the subtle energy levels of the body.
How do you use essential oils in energy work?
To use essential oils in energy work, you can apply them in various ways to maximize their energetic effect. One of the simplest methods is inhalation , where you add a few drops of the oil to a diffuser or simply breathe in directly from the bottle. This helps to align the oil's vibrations directly with your energy body and promotes rapid energetic balancing.
You can also use essential oils topically by diluting them with a carrier oil and applying them to specific areas of the body, such as the wrists, neck, chest, or along the energy centers (chakras), to enhance their energetic effect. This is particularly helpful during chakra work or Reiki sessions, as it supports the flow of energy by harmonizing the oil's vibrations with your energetic system.
No matter how you use them, essential oils can help you promote energetic balance, release blockages, and deepen your energy work. And don't forget: your intention plays a vital role in your energy work with essential oils.
