Have you fallen for the sweet, woodsy aroma of Copaiba essential oil? We love diffusing its warm scent, so now we’re seeing how it competes against the challenges life throws at us! Faced with seven real-life scenarios, we think Copaiba will come out on top. Even bad days can’t compete with Copaiba’s benefits!
Post-workout muscles vs. Copaiba
Congratulations on completing your body-blasting workout! Get the gains from your sweat sesh and leave aches behind—add 3 drops of Copaiba to a quarter-sized amount of Cool Azul® Sports Gel and massage it into tender muscles.
Winner of round 1: Copaiba essential oil!
A bland bath vs. Copaiba
Soaking in plain bathwater is for the birds. With Copaiba in your arsenal, you can banish the bath blahs and polish your skin with exfoliation! Use one of your DIY loofah soaps and add a few drops each of Copaiba and Peace & Calming® for a nostalgic, cozy aroma.
Bam! Copaiba takes round 2!
Dull skin vs. Copaiba
Does your complexion need some TLC? Brighten your day—and your face—with a Copaiba-infused DIY skin-tightening mask! Here’s how to make it:
- 1 egg white
- 1 tsp. honey
- ½ tsp. lemon juice
- 2 drops Copaiba essential oil
Mix all ingredients together, and then use a brush to spread on your face. Once it dries completely, rinse off with cold water. Copaiba reduces the appearance of blemishes to make your skin glow, while the honey, egg white, and lemon juice tighten and brighten skin.
Copaiba wins round 3—this is getting too easy!
The afternoon slump vs. Copaiba
A sneak attack from the midday slump hits hard. Soften the blow with Breathe Again™ Roll-On to invigorate your afternoon! Copaiba, Peppermint, and four types of Eucalyptus, including Eucalyptus Radiata, provide a refreshing respiratory experience you need!
Down goes the afternoon slump!
Dry skin vs. Copaiba
With Copaiba’s help, you can hydrate your body and get a dewy finish! Mix 1 drop each of Copaiba, German Chamomile, and Jasmine with your favorite unscented lotion for a luxurious scent.
Copaiba wins this one with a boost of hydration!
A busy day vs. Copaiba
Win the evening with Copaiba in a relaxing bath after a chaotic day. Fill a small bowl/glass with 1-2 ounces of V-6™, 10 drops Copaiba, 10 drops Lavender, and 5 drops Cedarwood. Mix well. Add to the full bath for total body moisture and a relaxing aroma. You’ll be glad you checked this off your list!
Another victory for Copaiba!
An uninspired space vs. Copaiba
Keep Copaiba in your corner during times when you’re working on a big project, or even when you need motivation to get the bathrooms cleaned. Diffuse this champion oil with a gentle, serene blend of Ylang Ylang and Geranium, while adding Royal Hawaiian Sandalwood™‘s inspiring aroma to the mix!
Slam dunk! Touch down! KO! Home run! Copaiba bests all the situations!
This champion is worthy of another post! Find out more ways to use Copaiba and learn about Helichrysum, another win-all oil!
Ocotea is the other South American oil and has been in the YL line up for years.
Good morning everyone.
I was wondering can I put some Copaiba into drinking water.
Good morning Josee! Excellent question! Copaiba essential oil is labeled for aromatic or topical use and therefore not for internal use. We recommend using our Vitality™ oils which are labeled for dietary use and they are a great choice to be added to your favorite beverages or cooking! I love Citrus Fresh Vitality or Peppermint Vitality in my water and using Lemon Vitality in marinades. Hope that helps, but when in doubt always read the labeling for uses on the bottle.
Thanks a lot for the blog post. Really looking forward to reading more.
I’m almost in for a group for ic! I have struggled with (what I thought was bladder infections) almost my whole life. …..at least 2-5 times a month!

Just wonder how it is best to use capaiba for aiding in lowering blood pressure thanks Nicole
I read that you can ingest too much copaiba, and that it can have a food poisoning like effect. Do you know how much is too much? If I ingest for sore muscles or high blood pressure, do you know how much or often I can do that? Thank you!
Hi Amanda, Thank you for your question. Please refer to the label for usage directions, if followed there should be no adverse affects.

I also suffer from IC after the birth of my first child. I want to keep hearing ideas and suggestions
I am excited to use mine. I am so new to the EO. I became a distributor and although I am reading anything I can get my hands on, I do wish I could find recipes that can help me use my oils. I have read the use of each of them, but how to combine them for what MY needs are is now a challenge. Thanks for all you do.
Norma I found a book on E O. At Amazon that’s for beginners that has a lot of recipes. It’s 10.00
Hello – I just took a Zyto test yesterday, and it showed that I have 36 biomarkers. 35 of them will be brought back into balance with the use of celery seed essential oil it said, and the remaining 1 with copaiba essential oil.
I looked up copaiba online, and it says that it is a stimulant oleorisin obtained from the trunk of several South American trees. It is used in making varnishes, lacquers, & as a medium for mixing paint.The hydrocarbons in copaiba are terpenes. Pinene is one of the 10-carbon terpenes, commonly known as turpentine. It says it has been used medicinally for stomach cancer & ulcers, and has antifungal properties.
I have interstitial cystitis and must be very careful what I take as not to cause further inflammation or irritaion and pain to the bladder lining.
I also have allergies to pine, and many trees and weeds that result in giant full body hives, and I am very chemically sensitive.
**I am wondering if the copaiba is wise for me to take considering my health issues. Please advise me on that.
I don’t fully understand the Zyto testing, or how it can determine what a person needs by placing your hand on the device, or how serious 1 biomarker is. The celery seed is supposed to bring the other 35 into balance for me. Maybe that is enough? Thank you kindly.
As with the majority of our products, we suggest consulting a health professional prior to use as we cannot diagnose or treat a particular disease.
Hi Deb, I have IC too, i see that you are two years ahead of me on the interest for Copaiba, but I would love to chat with you and any other people with IC that you may know that use YLEO.
Thanks
Hi. I have IC & Hunter’s Ulcers. Just started using YL oils a few months ago. In a major IC flare this past week and tonight I decided to try Copiaba rubbed all over stomach. Will have to see how it works.
I too have IC and just found YL earlier this year. The past month I’ve experienced my first flare in a few years and am trying find an oil combo that helps. I should be receiving Copaiba in a few days and excited to try it. I’ve been using frank and Melrose and I believe it is helping. I think the anti inflammatory oils may be the way to go…now to do the research and find which ones they are. I’m afraid to try the Ninxia or the citrus oils in water as citrus is a trigger for me. Maybe we can set up a group on FB for IC and Oils??
When I have a flare up I have been putting 2 drops of Copaiba under my tongue. 15 minutes later my flare up is gone! It’s like magic.
Wow! Could it really be that easy? I had weaned mysed totally off the elmiron and was heartbroken to have a flare within months of being off so I resumed the medication. Do not want to have to take these the rest of my life! Can’t wait to try the copaiba. Thank you for sharing.
It would be nice to have a group specific to YL oils and other natural remedies for ICers
I also have ic please include me in a website for ic and YL oils thank you so much
I also have IC Does copaiba or any other oils help?
Is there another oil that is from the newest SO. American work? I remember a training CD that said to look for one soon, but I do not think that its name is Copaiba.
There was mention made also of a collection called something about Rainforest; any idea of how soon?
Also, what is the progress on getting Legacy back to us? I love that oil and miss it so much!!
Thanks,
Mary
I was experimenting with Copiaba in Arkansas where summer ticks, chiggers and bugs abound. When I put it on my bug bites they cleared up faster than even with Purification. I’d be curious to know if others find this application helpful.
Marie,
I’m glad you’re experimenting with copaiba. It’s exciting to have it in the line up of Young Living Therapeutic Grade essential oils. You’re right, copaiba is ‘thinner’ compared to other products like Valor and Thieves…and doesn’t have a strong aroma. Don’t let this deter you from using this in as a dietary supplement and topically. South American natives use copaiba in their diet (tea and other beverages). It’s also used as a topical application to aide in the body’s natural immune responses–which explains many of people’s positive response to Deep Relief and Breathe Again. I would love to hear your experiences with this oil.

I just recvd my 1st bottle of Copaiba oil & it’s quite “watery” & I dont detect much of a fragrance. I know that it contains the sesquiterpene beta caryophyllene, which would constitute it’s faint fragrance but shouldnt it be a bit more viscous? I absolutely love the Deep Relief & Breathe easy roll-on; please advise on the best use/application of this eo.
thank you!

Hi Mary. You might have heard Copaiba referred to as ‘copal’. Copaiba is a more accurate name for this type of essential oil from the South America rain forest. It’s pronounced Co as in ‘low’…pa as in ‘pie’ and iba as in ‘eeba’.
The rain forest collection is a very great idea. Is what you heard a collection of the current Ecuador oils (Eucalyptus Blue, Palo Santo, RutaVala)?
I’ll check on Legacy. I know there are a few oils are in the off season of production. As you know, Gary Young wants to be sure a drop of every oil is in the true Legacy product. A missing essential oil or two from Legacy will never do!
