short description:

What Is Copaiba Oil?

Copaiba essential oil, also called copaiba balsam essential oil, comes from the resin of the copaiba tree. Copaiba resin is a sticky secretion produced by a tree belonging to the Copaifera genus, which grows in South America. There are a variety of species including Copaifera officinalisCopaifera langsdorffii and Copaifera reticulata.

So is copaiba balsam the same as copaiba? Copaiba balsam is a resin collected from the trunk of Copaifera trees. Copaiba balsam is then processed to create copaiba oil. Both copaiba balsam and copaiba oil are used for medicinal purposes.

The scent of copaiba oil can be described as sweet and woody. The oil as well as the balsam can be found as ingredients in soaps, perfumes and various cosmetic products. Both copaiba oil and balsam are also used in pharmaceutical preparations, including natural diuretics and cough medicine.

Research shows that copaiba has anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties.  With characteristics like these, it’s no wonder that copaiba oil may be able to help so many health concerns. Let’s now discuss the many possible copaiba oil uses and benefits.

 

7 Copaiba Oil Uses & Benefits

1. Natural Anti-inflammatory

Research shows that three varieties of copaiba oil — Copaifera cearensisCopaifera reticulata and Copaifera multijuga — all exhibit impressive anti-inflammatory activities. This is huge when you consider that inflammation is at the root of most diseases today.

2. Neuroprotective Agent

A 2012 research study published in Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine examined how copaiba oil-resin (COR) may have anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective benefits following acute neural disorders when intense inflammation reactions occur including stroke and brain/spinal cord trauma.

Using animal subjects with acute motor cortex damage, the researchers found that internal “COR treatment induces neuroprotection by modulating inflammatory response following an acute damage to the central nervous system.” Not only did the copaiba oil-resin have anti-inflammatory effects, but after just one 400 mg/kg dose of COR (from Copaifera reticulata), damage to the motor cortex was decreased by about 39 percent.

3. Possible Liver Damage Preventer

A research study published in 2013 demonstrates how copaiba oil may be able to reduce liver tissue damage that is caused by commonly used conventional painkillers like acetaminophen. This study’s researchers administered copaiba oil to animal subjects either before or after they were given acetaminophen for a total of 7 days. The results were quite interesting.

Overall, the researchers found that the copaiba oil reduced liver damage when used in a preventative way (before administration of the pain killer). However, when the oil was used as a treatment after the pain killer administration, it actually had an undesirable effect and increased bilirubin levels in the liver. 

4. Dental/Oral Health Booster

Copaiba essential oil has also proven itself to be helpful in oral/dental health care. An in vitro study published in 2015  finds that a copaiba oil-resin based root canal sealer is not cytotoxic (toxic to living cells). The study authors believe this likely related to the inherent properties of copaiba oil-resin including its biological compatibility, reparative nature and anti-inflammatory properties. Overall, copaiba oil-resin appears to a “promising material” for dental use. 

Another study published in the Brazilian Dental Journal copaiba oil’s ability to stop bacteria from reproducing, specifically Streptococcus mutans. Why is this so significant? This type of bacteria is known to cause tooth decay and cavities.  So by stopping the reproduction of Streptococcus mutans bacteria, copaiba oil may be useful in preventing tooth decay and cavities.

So the next next time you’re oil pulling, don’t forget to add a drop of copaiba essential oil to the mix!

5. Pain Helper

Copaiba oil may be able to help with natural pain relief since it has been shown in scientific research to exhibit antinociceptive properties, which means it can help to block the detection of a painful stimulus by the sensory neurons. An in vitro study published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology shows the antinociceptive activity of two Amazonian Copaiba oils (Copaifera multijuga and Copaifera reticulata) when administered orally. The results also specifically showed that the Copaiba oils demonstrate a peripheral and central pain-relieving effect, likely making them useful in the treatment of various health disorders that involve ongoing pain management such as arthritis. 

When it comes to arthritis in particular, a scientific article published in 2017 points out that case reports have shown that people with joint pain and inflammation who used copaiba reported favorable results. However, extensive research as to copaiba oil’s effect on inflammatory arthritis is still limited to basic research and uncontrolled clinical observations in humans. 

6. Breakout Buster

Copaiba oil with its anti-inflammatory, antiseptic and healing abilities is yet another option for the natural treatment of acne. A double-blind, placebo controlled clinical trial published in 2018 finds the volunteers with acne experienced a “highly significant decrease” in skin areas affected with acne where a one percent copaiba essential oil preparation was used. 

To take advantage of its skin-clearing benefits, add a drop of copaiba essential oil to a natural toner like witch hazel or to your face cream.

7. Calming Agent

While there may not be a lot of studies to prove this use, copaiba oil is commonly used in diffusers for its calming effects. With its sweet, woody scent, it can help ease tensions and worries after a long day or help you wind down before bed.
