Chasing truth, beauty, goodness, and all things naturally wholistic.

Faith over fear.

Ephesians 2:8-10

 

I’ve been married to my high school sweetheart since 2003. Together, we have four amazing children, by birth and adoption. When I am not teaching fine arts to my favorite upper school students at our incredible classical Christian school, I spend my days on our 7-acre property where I try my best to love my family well and experiment with hobby homesteading. My favorite things to do are cultivate my ever-expanding gardens, wrangle chickens, ferment all the things, sourdough bake with einkorn flour, and figure out new ways to use essential oils. I believe God has tasked us to be good stewards of our spaces in the world, and I guide my children to do the same.


I am a board member of The Sparrow Fund and an Empowered to Connect Facilitator. I love to dig in the dirt, cook nourishing food, capture beauty through my camera lens, watch the sunrise on the beach, and spend time with good literature on my porch while sipping on a hot cup of coffee.

Oils 101 | Copaiba Vitality

Unlike most other essential oils that are steam distilled, Copaiba Vitality (pronounced coe-pie-ee-ba) is created from gum resin tapped directly from the Copaiba tree native to Brazil.  It is highly regarded for its beta-caryophyllene content.  Do some research and read more about that HERE to find out why this oil is such a powerhouse to keep in your natural wellness toolbox. Copaiba Vitality is a mild and gentle oil, and has a pleasant, complex taste.  When taken internally, it can promote wellness and a sense of calm.  Copaiba is one of the main ingredients in our beloved Young Living blend, Stress Away.

The complex and sweet aroma is very soothing, creating a positive and calming environment.  I personally think Copaiba should get lots of love for all the ways it can be used!

Ways to use Copaiba Vitality:

➕Add 1-3 drops to a clear vegetable capsule and take daily as an important part of your natural wellness regimen and to boost immunity

➕Add 1-2 drops (added first to liquid stevia for emulsification) to your herbal tea for a calming effect

➕Drop 1-2 drops under your tongue for a soothing effect

➕Apply to the gums of teething babies – make sure to dilute properly with a carrier oil

Ways to use Copaiba:

➕Add to a muscle rub with PanAway and coconut oil after a long day of work or an intense workout

➕Add to your lotion or shave cream

➕Add a drop to your moisturizer to calm skin irritations

➕Add 5 drops to your bath in some Epsom salts while you relax and let those muscles take a break

➕Use with babies and children – this is a very gentle oil and can be used with a massage oil before bedtime

I also really love two other Young Living products that contain Copaiba – Copaiba Vanilla Shampoo and Conditioner.  They smell so calming and I can tell such a difference in the texture of my hair when using it. So soft and silky! I always make sure to have a good supply so I don’t run out.  They’re both great products to use in your ditch and switch efforts!

Please note that Copaiba Vitality is not included in the 2019 Premium Starter kit.  It’s an oil that I use everyday though, and would make a terrific addition to your oily toolbox!
