Essential Oils

Researchers found that even low concentrations of copaiba oil were able to inhibit bacterial growth. The antimicrobial activity of copaiba oil acts against a standard strain of the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus, which can cause skin and wound infections. 

Copaiba oil is used:

• as an anti-inflammatory
• to promote wound healing
• to provide pain relief
• to lower production of some molecules that are associated with inflammation
• to lower the amount of oxygen radicals, which can lead to cell damage
