Balsam, Copaiba essential oil

Balsam, Copaiba is an extremely mild scented yet super powerful essential essence. It is has amazing powers as an anti-inflammatory, some say, the best anti-inflammatory substance known.  There are some studies that show it is more effective than Ibuprofen and even Cortisone. Plus, no side effects!  This lovely pale green/yellow essential oil is made from the resin of balsam, copaiba trees in Brazil.This lovely tree produces about 40 liters of oleoresin which is used to make the essential oil.It is harvested somewhat like maple syrup in that you “tap” the tree to get the oleoresin. So the trees are not destroyed to obtain this essential oil making it a sustainable resource.

Not only is this essential oil an excellent anti-inflammatory, but she helps with bronchitis and even diarrhea. Rub some on your chest and belly during a bout of illness and let her work some magic. Her gentle nature makes for a great friend in times of insomnia as she brings a deep sense of peace.Many times the stronger scents of the essential oils can really turn off an ailing pet or elderly person.  The mild scent of balsam, copaiba makes her a really great option for those with a very sensitive nose. This anti-inflammatory powerhouse has been successfully used in treatment of Fibromyalgia, Lupus, MS and other painful conditions.

A little hidden secret of this essential essence is that she works magic on cystitis and urinary incontinence. When my older female dog started to suffer from urinary incontinence, I put 1-2 drops of this essential oil in her food.  She was pretty picky but gobbled it right up and it worked wonders on her incontinence issues.

Using balsam, copaiba brings great peace to your energy field and creates a quiet mind.  This makes her a wonderful addition to the end of the day wind down.

So, take a look (and smell) at Balsam, Copaiba. She is a quiet yet powerful healing friend.
