This is a very important topic because so many people struggle with pain. Essential oils can provide relief. I recently was contacted by someone who wanted to recommend essential oils for RA and I found that Copaiba has numerous benefits from pain relief to lessening inflammation. We do indepth training on this at Essential Oil Academy when students study to become Certified Essential Oil Practitioners.
