About
A powerful but gentle anti-inflammatory oil rich in beta-caryophyllene (BCP), a sesquiterpene that activates CB2 receptors in the endocannabinoid system without psychoactive effects. It amplifies the effects of other oils and is particularly effective for chronic pain and inflammation.
The indigenous peoples of Amazonia have used copaiba resin for thousands of years as a wound healer, anti-inflammatory, and respiratory remedy. Brazilian folk medicine has long used it for inflammatory conditions. Modern research has focused on its beta-caryophyllene content and its interaction with the endocannabinoid system.
