The Great Amplifier!

"Our research in the Young Living laboratory showed that when Copaiba oil was combined with our Oregano and Peppermint oil, the anti-inflammatory effect was four times greater.  It was also five times greater with our Cypress oil and with Peace and Calming you have a "slumber party"!

Lots Of Research Listed Below

Copaiba Balsam has been researched and it's properties documented. In 2002 research confirmed it's effectiveness as a topical wound healer. Depending on the region harvested the sesquiterpenes can range anywhere from 30% to 90%. Research has also shown and documented that Copaiba Balsam not only heals wounds but can kill germs and bacteria, reduce pain and inflammation and have an anti-ulcerous effect. Research in Brazil in 2002 reported that the active constituent "kaurenoic acid" found in Copaiba also inhibited the growth of leukemic cells by 95% and Breast and Colon cancer cells by 45%.

Used as a traditional folk medicine for nearly 800 years and still sold in Amazonian pharmacies, COPAIBA was also listed in the US Pharmacopeia for topical and oral uses, a century ago (from 1820 to 1910). Still on the FDA GRAS (Generally Regarded as Safe) List for oral consumption, COPAIBA is recommended for digestive discomforts including stomach aches, stomach infections, and gastritis: up to ½ teaspoon, twice daily. Four to six drops per day in a capsule should be of benefit.

COPAIBA Has 50% Concentration of Anti-Inflammatory Beta-Caryophyllene

Beta-caryophyllene, a powerful anti-inflammatory compound is found at 50% concentration in COPAIBA therapeutic-quality essential oil. Compared with other healing essential oils: Beta-caryophyllene occurs in HELICHRYSUM essential oil at a 8%- 12% and in CLOVE essential oil at 6-8%.

A 1996 study showed beta-caryophyllene to be effective in treating stress-induced ulcers.

COPAIBA is useful for Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, and Pain.

After studying COPAIBA for eight years, Marc Schreuder, commented COPAIBA was "HELICHRYSUM on steroids." He says it is his #1 favorite oil, with FRANKINCENSE being #2.

Mr. Schreuder refers to COPAIBA as "SANDALWOOD on steroids" due to its high sesquiterpene content. SANDALWOOD considered  excellent for emotional support…COPAIBA is six times better. Combining COPAIBA and FRANKINCENSE creates the highest spiritual and emotional frequency oil blend.
