Description of Copaiba Balsam Oil :

Copaiba oil comes from copaiba trees. There are more than 70 speciesTrusted Source of copaiba trees that have been identified, many of them in South and Central America. Copaiba trees naturally produce copaiba oil-resin. This is extracted from the tree by punching a hole into the trunk. A pipe is then inserted into the hole, allowing the oil-resin to flow out. Copaiba oil-resin collected from several trees is often mixed.

Copaiba essential oil is made from the copaiba oil-resin. It’s extracted from the oil-resin using a steam distillation process. Both copaiba oil-resin and copaiba oil have been used for a variety of purposes. 

The balsamic oil of Copaifera officinalis (Copaiba) is composed primarily of the heavier sesquiterpene and diterpene hydrocarbons, and the dominant compound, beta-caryophyllene. Robert Tisserand observes that beta-caryophyllene interacts with cannabinoid receptors in the skin, causing skin cells to produce beta-endorphin, an “endogenous opioid neuropeptide and peptide hormone” that modulates pain perception and pain sensation, and goes so far as to say that “Copaiba Oil makes your skin happy”! But while the claimed anti-inflammatory mechanisms of Copaiba are understood – at least in regard to rodents – there is little human research to support these applications.

Uses & Benefits of Copaiba Balsam Oil :

The people who live in areas where copaiba trees grow have long used copaiba oil-resin for a variety of different purposes. Some of these include:

1. Anti-inflammatory : Inflammation is associated with a variety of diseases and conditions. Because of this, research into the anti-inflammatory effects of copaiba could have an effect on the development of future treatments.
2. Antimicrobial activity : One studyTrusted Source from 2016 evaluated the antimicrobial activity of copaiba oil-resin against a standard strain of the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus, which can cause skin and wound infections. Researchers found that even low concentrations of copaiba oil-resin were able to inhibit bacterial growth.
3. Leishmaniasis : Reserchers investigated the effects of copaiba oil-resin in mice with cutaneous leishmaniasis. They found that oral and combination oral-topical treatment resulted in a significantly smaller lesion size. Further investigation found that copaiba oil-resin may affect the cellular membranes of the Leishmania parasite.
4. Pain relief : compared the effect of massage with copaiba essential oil and Deep Blue essential oil in people with arthritis.
