Copaiba essential oil. I'm Megan, this is Dr. Jeff. And we are so excited for today to teach you guys about copaiba. It's such an extraordinary essential oil. And it comes all the way from the Amazon rainforest in southern Brazil. It comes from evergreen trees that can grow over 100 feet tall. And the process of this essential is just amazing
It's incredibly labor and time intensive to distill this oil. It comes from the Copaifera tree. And the oil is distilled from the hardened resin, which flows out of the wood of the tree when you tap it.
And what's unique about this oil is that the harvesters take little boats out to where the Copaifera trees grow and unless the water level is high enough in the Amazon, they're not able to go and harvest the oil. So it's a very difficult process that takes a lot of time and energy. So it's a very, very special oil, which has climbed into our top three.
Now copaiba essential oil is one of the essential oils that I actually do ingest. I'm a vegicap girl. I put it right in my vegicap. I do three drops along with a couple other essential oils on a daily basis. I do this twice a day. I absolutely love applying copaiba on topically. I have a spot.
I always have a spot. I put this one right on my lower back. The feeling of my entire body completely changes when I started using copaiba essential oil. It's just incredible, the difference you feel internally. I just, I'm healthy all around the place. All over.
Copaiba has very unique chemistry. 65% of this oil is beta-caryophyllene, which is a cannabinoid, and then there's a lot of other minor molecules, one being humulene, which creates synergy, or increases the cellular permeability of the other essential oils that you put with it.
What that means is if you add copaiba to any other essential oil or any other protocol, the effects of all of them are gonna be greater than using them alone without copaiba. Copaiba directly stimulates CB2 receptor sites in our endo-cannabinoid system. Now CB2 receptor sites are mainly located in our immune system, in our gut, and in other tissues in our body, but mainly our immune system and gut.
If you have any challenge at all with cellular health, with your immune system, like an immune challenge that you're dealing with, if you're dealing with any type of gut issue at all, copaiba is gonna be such a powerful oil for you to use, and you're gonna see the effects almost immediately because it directly stimulates those receptor sites.
When CB2 receptor sites are stimulated, it supports a healthy immune response. It supports a healthy inflammatory response. It supports cardiovascular health. It supports neurology. Almost every body system that we have is benefited from using copaiba essential oil.
So that's one of the reasons why we choose to use it on Mila. All of our kids use it on a daily basis. We just apply it topically to them, because we know that everybody benefits when you use copaiba essential oil.
