Additionally, it is thought to have a synergistic effect when added to blends for immunostimulation, Lymphatic circulation and anticellulite, detoxification, decongesting.

Note: Most essential oils cannot be taken internally, but even when they can, essential oils are highly concentrated and require dilution, special training and caution that Aroma & More does not yet provide. You can never drink any essential oils at 100% strength or diluted in water-based liquids.
Copaiba is sometimes contraindicated during pregnancy but at the time of this writing we can find no basis for this caution. It is suspected that traditionally because the Amazon natives used Copaiba to treat yeast infections, it would not be recommended for that purpose during pregnancy.
