It’s Better than CBD
Copaiba Oil: A 100% Natural, stronger alternative to CBD oil and medical marijuana
The Buzz about CBD Oil
The downside of CBD oil
- Expensive
- Many different kinds
- Controversy because of ongoing legal questions
- Weakened effects because of widespread adulteration
- Dangers of synthetic versions and mass production
- Stigma from association with marijuana & negative opinions about the drug culture
We all carry stress caused by trauma.
CBD oil is being added to everything from sports drinks to water to beer to sugarcoated gummie candies. You can buy bags of CBD-laced coffee, facial moisturizers, and pumpkin-flavored, gluten-free snacks for your non-cartoon dog.
People who use CBD oil seek all kinds of benefits, including pain relief, treatment for seizures, lower anxiety, a way to cope with ADD and ADHD, prevention of diabetes by regulating insulin levels, treatment for cancer, promotion of cardiovascular health, addiction recovery, and arthritis relief. They might need treatment from sleepless nights, tremors, skin issues, irritability, chronic symptoms. They’re looking to treat bronchitis, hemorrhoids, constipation, diarrhea, bladder infections & other urinary tract infections (UTIs), not to mention a reduction of liver damage caused by acetaminophens (like Tylenol).
They seek help for diseases that have a neuroinflammatory or neurodegenerative component, such as multiple sclerosis, Huntington’s disease, epilepsy, stroke, inflammatory bowel diseases, liver cirrhosis, and osteoporosis. They are asking for a lot.
Can CBD oil deliver?
The silver bullet: bCP
BCP (Beta-caryophyllene)
The benefits most people seek from CBD Oil come from a compound called BCP (beta-caryophyllene), its most powerful ingredient. Copaiba oil contains more BCP than any kind of CBD oil.
Ever wonder why black pepper is so spicy?
Beta-caryophyllene!
Copaiba: $49
The benefits of
Beta
Caryophyllene
BCP is a common and abundant natural chemical. The U.S. FDA classifies BCP as “generally regarded as safe,” (GRAS), so large amounts can be safely consumed. Natural BCP is apparently used by all living creatures. It is found in all kinds of herbs, fruits, and vegetables, including, hops, mangoes, blueberries, pistachios, rosemary, and oranges.
Scientists recently discovered that BCP has wide, specific healing effects because it directly activates our bodies’ CB2 receptors.
CB2 receptors are found in immune tissues throughout the body and are increased in the brain during disease or following an injury. Their activation reduces inflammation, which lessens pain and reduces the damaging consequences that chronic inflammation has on muscle tissues, brain function, and risk for developing additional negative consequences.
Activating the body’s CB2 receptors plays a direct role in reducing pain, preventing seizures, and even decreases plaque buildup in the arteries.
Be careful.
We do not recommend using products containing synthetic, man-made beta-caryophyllene.
Pain Relief
Stimulates and upregulates the body’s natural endorphins. Reduces chronic pain, muscle spasms, and neuropathy.1,3
Relieves Anxiety
May reduce depression and obsessive-compulsive symptoms.2
Fights Obesity
Reduces adipogenesis (the formation of fatty tissues). Helps with weight loss by activating PPAR-gamma on the genetic level.4
Anti-Inflammatory
Inflammation is a natural reaction, but inflammatory diseases are literally a plague. BCP is a powerful anti-inflammatory and analgesic.5
Promotes Bone Growth
Repairs age-related bone loss. Increases bone mineralization (beneficial for osteoporosis).6
Protects the gut
Helps with Inflammatory Bowel Disease. Repairs ulcers. Fights colitis.7
Neuroprotective
Supports healing of a leaky blood-brain barrier and inflammation.
Increases antioxidant levels in the brain.8
Improves Metabolism
Increases mitochondrial function.9
Relieves arthritis
BCP aids in improving arthritis, improving the swelling of joints, adrenals, and lymph nodes. 10
Improves stroke outcome
Can reduce swelling, brain damage, and mitochondrial dysfunction.11
Protects the heart
Helps reduce high levels of cholesterol. Reduces stress to the heart. Can suppress the development of atherosclerosis.12
Fights Endometriosis
A powerful anti-inflammatory, BCP has shown in animal studies to be a non-toxic therapeutic option for improving symptoms of endometriosis without affecting fertility.13
Protects the kidneys
By activating CB2 receptors, BCP may protect the kidneys from inflammation and oxidative stress.14
Inhibits tumor growth
BCP (CPO) can inhibit the growth of cancer cells and can induces apoptosis (self-destruction of the cancer cell) by suppressing PI3K, AKT, mTOR, and S6K1 and increasing MAPK.15
Aids with Chemotherapy and recovery
BCP increases the effectiveness of some chemotherapy drugs, such as paclitaxel.16
BCP can also help prevent of the excessive cell-toxic damage (such as reduction in white blood cells) from some chemotherapy drugs (for example, the antibiotic, Doxorubicin).16
Different sources contain different amounts of BCP.
Copaiba oil contains a higher amount than CBD oil from any source.

How do I use copaiba?
Can I overdose?
Check out our FAQ, below, for more info on excellent questions like this one.
Because there isn’t a recommended dose, the info shared on this page should not be considered as medical advice.
Keep in mind one universal truth:
Everyone is different.
Your age, diet, weight, metabolism, genetics, and environment are only the beginning of what makes you unique. Your personal journey will include experimentation.
Many people begin by rubbing the oil directly on a sore muscle, or taking two drops under their tongue when they feel a headache coming on.
Some people combine both CBD oil and copaiba as they explore ways to achieve the results they want.
Listen to your body.
Diffuse in the air
If you want to smell the Amazon rainforest, add it to your diffuser.
Breathing Copaiba directly into your lungs is one of the quickest ways to get it in your system.
Don’t have a diffuser handy? Rub a few drops between your palms and inhale thru your nose and mouth.
Do that with your eyes closed & enjoy the smells of a rainforest.
Apply directly to skin
Use it “neat,” by itself.
Add it to your skin moisturizer.
Combine it with massage oil after a workout, before bed, or any time you feel your body tell you to.
under the tongue
Pure, therapeutic-grade essential oils can be safely taken internally. You can add Copaiba to water or milk, or put it in capsules yourself and take it like a vitamin.
Putting 2-4 drops under your tongue is one of the quickest ways to get an oil directly into your bloodstream, where it can do the most good.
the source
Copaiba is a sustainable essential oil. It can be harvested without harming the trees or the forest where they grow.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this marijuana?
Copaiba is actually a legume, so it is closer to a black-eyed pea or a pinto bean. Or even a lima bean.
Any chance this will make me fail a drug test?
Many types of CBD oils contain small amounts of THC (as much as 3%). This is enough to show up on a drug test.
Switching to copaiba removes all danger of failing a drug test.
Does this really work?
We think we’ve done a decent job of presenting and citing the science.
A few minutes on “The Google” should show you enough personal testimonials to give you an idea.
Comes down to it, everyone’s body is different, and you won’t know until you try it.
At such a low investment, we recommend you give it a try yourself. You can always send it back if you don’t like it.
Will this give me a rash?
The oils enable the body to cleanse itself of toxins. A very small percentage of oil users experience some mild discomfort the first time they use the oils, as their body is releasing more toxins than it is accustomed to. It is very important to drink a lot of water when using any essential oil, to allow the body to properly flush out toxins.
If you want to take additional precautions, the first time you use a new oil, apply it to the bottoms of your feet and note how your body reacts. If you have no adverse reaction after 20 minutes, your body will accept the oil.
Why don't doctors prescribe copaiba?
Also, most medical schools never cover this kind of therapy in their pharma courses, because the curriculum for drug-related classes is mostly focused on substances that can be patented.
Copaiba is a natural substance, and cannot be patented–that would be like trying to patent sunlight, or clean water.
Can I overdose on Copaiba?
It is important to drink a lot of water when using any essential oil, to allow the body to properly make use of the oil as well as carry out any toxins that the oil helps the body rid itself of.
Just don’t hit yourself in the head with the little glass bottle, and you should get along just fine.
Is this like other Essential Oils?
Does this come from hemp?
Copaiba is harvested from the sap of a tree in the Brazilian rainforest.
Ko-pah-ee-bah? Koo-puh-bah . . . what? How do you say it?
Then the British got involved, and since they felt a need to pronounce things differently than both the Portuguese and the Spanish, the British pronunciation for the same word became Ko-pay-bah.
All three are correct. We go with the Brazilian pronunciation since it was their word start with, and we get it from their country. (Thanks a bunch, Brazil!)
Can I use this on my dog? How about my cat?
Yes, to both questions.
Copaiba works well on pets.
Our cats love it. Cats can be sensitive, so start with a small amount and don’t force anything (like you would force a cat, right?). When introducing an oil like Copaiba to a cat, always leave a way for the cat to escape, or you may find yourself in need of additional medical assistance.
(Good thing you’ve got some Copaiba handy!)
Is copaiba physically addictive?
Also important: you will never suffer physical withdrawal symptoms if you stop enjoying Copaiba.
In fact, BCP is being studied for its ability to help people stop using drugs that have physical symptoms when you stop using them.
To be fair, humans can become psychologically addicted to just about anything (exercise, music, chocolate, gambling, Seinfeld, sex, food, etc.).
Why would I want this instead of medical marijuana or CBD oil?
People find Copaiba better for several reasons, besides the ones we’ve already mentioned in other places on this website (less expensive, more powerful, etc.)
- No controversy, no legal issues
- No stigma from being associated with the drug culture
- No synthetics or dangerous chemicals
- No adulteration
That last one is important. There is currently not very much regulation in the CBD oil / medical marijuana world.
Even though most kinds of CBD oil claim to not contain THC (the psychoactive chemical that makes a person “high”), tests have shown that even “clean” CBD oils can contain as much as 3% THC. Enough to make you fail a drug test.
THC is illegal in many parts of the world, and people who use cannabis as a medicine are increasingly demanding oils that are rich in BCP that are not psychoactive.
Many consider THC to be an inconvenience, simply because they want the positive effects & need to remain fully functional, without the impairments in judgment and performance that are caused by THC.
Copaiba is a perfect alternative to CBD oil.
