Beta-caryophyllene is recognized as the primary chemical in marijuana that gives ease to patients and makes it an effective medication for many.

Some Proof that Marijuana is a Powerful Medicine
Marijuana contains an amazing chemical, beta-caryophyllene, and scientists have thoroughly proven that it could be used to treat pain, inflammation, atherosclerosis, and osteoporosis.
Jürg Gertsch, of ETH Zürich, and his collaborators from three other universities learned that the natural molecule can activate a protein called cannabinoid receptor type 2. When that biological button is pushed, it soothes the immune system, increases bone mass, and blocks pain signals — without causing euphoria or interfering with the central nervous system.
However, our Copaiba oil won’t make you high, could this be Young Living’s answer to the medical marijuana debate?
This can be a huge advantage when experiencing discomfort at work, for instance. And it can be reapplied as often as necessary. In addition, Copaiba can be taken internally, as noted on the label for supplementation. This can be a valuable oil for discomfort from digestive issues (nausea), stomach aches, and inflammation in the digestive tract.
Copaiba is the highest in beta-caryophyllene which is an anti-inflammatory compound. A 1996 study showed beta-caryophyllene to be effective in treating stress-induced ulcers. Beta-caryophyllene is also found in helichrysum at between 8 and 12%, while copaiba contains 55% beta-caryophyllene. Clove oil contains 6-8% beta-caryophyllene in comparison.

Below are comments from Toby Palmer, Young Living's product manager:
Young Living Copaiba Essential Oil
Copaiba is an incredible essential oil that continues the tradition of South American essential oils being offered by Young Living.
Want to know the highlights of this potent essential oil? Deep in the heart of the Brazilian rain forest, the copaiba tree is harvested by “tapping” the heartwood similar to how rubber and maple are tapped. The resin is collected and then steam distilled, a process that delicately extracts the pure essential oil.
Copaiba has traditionally been used in native teas to aid in soothing digestive discomforts. It also has helped regulate people’s natural immune response.* It’s no wonder why copaiba is so effective. Copaiba essential oil contains the highest amounts of beta caryophyllene: 55 percent. This is the highest of any known essential oil!
You’ll be hard-pressed to find real copaiba essential oil anywhere in the United States. It’s true, other companies sell copaiba “oil” that contains the entire resin or is a distilled form of the leaf. Unfortunately these products don’t contain the high amounts of beta caryophyllene that is in the Young Living Therapeutic Grade™ copaiba essential oil.
You probably have already tried copaiba in the Deep Relief™ and Breath Again™ Roll-On blends. If you look on the ingredient labels of these products, you’ll see copaiba listed.
Let me know what you think of copaiba essential oil!

The Young Living Standard
Therapeutic Grade: The Young Living Standard
There is a significant difference between essential oils that simply smell good and those that are Young Living Therapeutic Grade™ (YLTG).
Independent laboratory testing proves that YLTG essential oils meet and often exceed industry requirements, and as stewards of nature’s plant remedies, Young Living maintains higher internal standards, built upon the magnitude of our own rigorous quality assurance requirements. This standard is known as Young Living Therapeutic Grade.
In order to achieve YLTG classification, each essential oil must achieve the designation naturally, without excess manipulation and refinement, and meet specific criteria in four key areas:
Plants, Preparation, Purity, and Potency.
Plants Young Living products are produced from the right plants, grown in exceptional soil, and harvested at exactly the right time.
Preparation Honoring a strict commitment to respect and protect the time-honored methods of distillation, Young Living makes every effort to preserve “nature’s living energy” in a manner as close to its natural state as possible. Using pure mountain water free of additives, Young Living has a proprietary, stainless steel distillation process that uses low temperature and low pressure to better preserve plant properties, capture the pure essence of the plant, and preserve the quality of the oils.
Purity Achieved through the use of quality plants and meticulous preparation, and not through ultra-refinement, our finished product is100% pure. Young Living essential oils are unadulterated, uncut, and free of chemicals, pesticides, and heavy metals.
Potency To guarantee our products exceed existing world standards and meet our own higher internal standards for potency, we analyze the finished oil’s phytochemical profile to ensure it delivers optimal amounts of every key plant compound.
You need to know that there are huge chemical companies on the east coast that specialize in creating synthetic chemicals that mimic every common essential oil.
For every kilogram of pure essential oils there is an estimated 10 and 100 kilograms of synthetic oil created.

A Rash Statement~^~by Julie Chertow, YL Gold Distributor, Oregon
I feel that it is important and worthy to address the issue of rashes with essential oils since this comes up quite often.
Any time a rash appears after using oils, especially in the beginning, it is from a detox happening.
How many years has someone used petrochemicals in all their personal care products, household cleaning products? What kind of water do they shower and bathe in? Do they soak in a jacuzzi or swim in a pool with chlorine? What is their diet? Do they eat non organic food sprayed with lots and lots of chemicals? what about the air they breathe in their town or city they live in? What about drinking out of plastic water bottles?
What about the over-the-counter drugs and pharmaceutical drugs people have taken for years? What about the years of vaccines people have had? What about herbs people may take that may possibly be sprayed with chemicals.
What about walking barefoot on chemically treated carpet? Those chemicals go right into the body through the bottom of the feet. All these chemicals go in through the skin and into the brain. They release toxic gases and lodge into the brain receptors. They lodge on to the nerve endings. We have millions of receptor sites along the spine (nerve endings). They lodge into the organs, the blood, the lymphatic system, into the tissue.
Then here we come with using our precious oils on our friends, families & clients. Guess what? Our oils digest petrochemicals.(Thank God) Guess what? Our skin is the largest organ. Guess what? We detoxify through our skin. Guess what? People tend to blame the last thing they used...our oils.
And, have any of you ever been around Gary Young and heard the hundreds of times people have come up to him complaining that they started to use the oils and they got a rash. Gary's response across the board every single time I have heard him address this is "CONGRATULATIONS you are detoxing!"
What I share with people is what I mentioned above and I say I would rather see little bumps (the rash) coming out then one big lump (a tumor)
Unfortunately most people do not take responsibility and have the consciousness about the myriad of chemicals they ingest and absorb into their bodies on a daily basis for weeks, months and years. Petrochemicals and other toxins accumulate through all the years of your life. They do not all come out because we go to the bathroom. The body can handle it for a while but then it says NO MORE! and disease begins, all kinds.
So we Young Living distributors have a big purpose, a big job to help humanity to understand and educate them (and ourselves) at the absolute dangers of exposing ourselves to petrochemicals in all the products we use daily. Then to support them in switching their products to Young Living because we have not an ounce of chemicals in our products. To support people in cleansing. And then educating people on integrating the oils into their daily life.
Support your people in getting alkalined, using Alaklime, using Multi Greens, daily drinking Ningxia Red, eating and juicing lots of fresh organic greens, putting lemon oil or lemon juice in their water.
People everywhere are getting sick and their health is failing and they don't know why. It is our mission to help them understand the environmental sources of their problems and to educate them in the solutions, which we have as Young Living distributors.
