This is the most amazing oil. Research shows how it taps into our Endocannabinoid system that connects up to all systems of the body affected by our environment.... so in times of stress when the fight or flight response has turned switches into a higher gear.. Copaiba can calm you back down when you feel the threat has passed.
For me it works brilliantly on my nervous system and calms down over- sensitivity when experienced through my skin.

After recommendations from Janet Roark an American Veterinarian online I used it with another oil for healing, on Juliet my poorly ewe who had a tasty infection on one of her leg, so much so she was struggling to stand and feed one of her lamb on that side. She loved the smell and found total relief from her discomfort and it healed within a couple of days enabling her to get to her feet and happily feed both lambs bilaterally.
Lets look at Cranial nerve no 5 The trigeminal nerve that sends sensory impulses relating to facial expression, anterior aspects of the tongue and then motor nerve aspect of chewing. Thought this was a good choice as Trigeminal neuralgia brought about by compression or inflammation of this nerve could be eased with Copaiba as it has analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. The Trigeminal nerve can be boosted through working mid section of our middle finger on both hands.
