A story of Copaiba
/I recently came home from traveling in Costa Rica. My best friend lives there and I had been eager to spend time with her and get a taste of life in the jungle and on the beach.
On my second day there, my friend and her husband took me snorkelling. I'm an avid scuba diver and I love being in the water and I was enjoying this secret spot they had taken me to. The water was so warm and clear, there was lots to see and we lost track of time. Rookie mistake - I know better with my fair skin! I emerged a couple of hours later with an awful sunburn on the back of my legs.
Later that evening, my legs were giving me a fair amount of pain and they were quite hot and tender. I applied a few drops of Copaiba oil to my legs with some coconut oil and immediately they felt better! I was really amazed, as I have never experienced the immediate effect of this oil before.
Copaiba was my ally for the next few days as it helped to reduce the pain and sensitivity. I also applied Frankincense and Lavender, which I had fortunately brought.
These essential oils are so amazing and help to support and heal me in so many ways. I'm so lucky to have found them and be able to share them with you!
