Due to the fact that hemp-derived CBD (cannabidiol) is legal (if it has less than 0.3% of THC) only in some US states, the logical question appeared: Is copaiba oil a new legal version of CBD? Copaiba oils have struck the market hard in the past few years.
So, if you’re searching for an essential oil that is believed to improve human well-being, take a closer look at this new health trend.
Have you heard of Copaiba before?
Copaiba oil has become quite popular due to beliefs that can help with certain medical conditions like bronchitis, constipation, coughs, rheumatoid arthritis.
The main difference between CBD and copaiba oil is that copaiba doesn’t interact with your endocannabinoid system or any of its receptors.
Although copaiba oil doesn’t contain any psychoactive cannabinoids it has β-caryophyllene which may be neuroprotective and may have cardiovascular and immune benefits.
David K. Hill, a founding executive and chair of scientific operation at dōTERRA International said that beta-caryophyllene is known for its influence within the endocannabinoid system, and it has direct interaction with CB2 receptors.

According to Medical News Today, Copaiba can have an effect on mild acne treatment. In one study, participants used copaiba gel for 21 days. After that period, researchers found that the gel stopped new pimples from forming, healed the old ones, and reduced inflammation.
Food Business shares that copaiba has many similar properties as cannabidiol. “We think we’ll see copaiba as a competitor to C.B.D. in food and beverage products.” said food trends forecaster Elizabeth Moscow for Food Business News.
