Common application areas include muscles or joints, with gentle massage for optimal absorption, allowing 30 mins for full absorption.

For direct inhalation, place 1-2 drops on a tissue or your palm and inhale deeply. For steam inhalation, add 2-3 drops to a bowl of hot water and inhale the steam for 5-10 minutes. Personal inhalers can also be filled with copaiba oil for on-the-go use.
