<<3>> no one has really discovered the
<<5>> benefits of copaiba until now although
<<7>> they it's been historically used we now
<<10>> are truly starting to understand the
<<12>> science behind this and I think the
<<14>> benefits of this oil are completely
<<16>> untapped we had to wait until after
<<20>> January as the waters came up so that we
<<22>> could access the trees so their main
<<24>> collection season is between January and
<<26>> June when the water is high so now we're
<<29>> going to go up and see the copaiba trees
<<31>> firsthand and see how they collect the
<<33>> resin the way that whale is extracted
<<40>> isn't only a resin is that tree is
<<42>> tapped like you would a maple tree and
<<44>> as that tree is stressed that oleoresin
<<47>> then is called to the source of where
<<49>> it's been stressed and then we're able
<<51>> to extract that oil which will run
<<53>> year-round
<<56>> [Music]
<<61>> we're about an hour and a half as he's
<<63>> drilled through the tree
<<64>> to collect just this much oil helps you
<<67>> understand how much work goes into
<<69>> collecting the soil and after this is
<<71>> distilled it's about 50% yields we'll
<<74>> get about half as much oil and then
<<76>> he'll come back to this tree six months
<<78>> later and you'll be able to get about it
<<80>> a leader worth of resin from this tree
<<83>> [Music]
<<85>> copaiba oil it really has kind of hit
<<88>> the scientific community you know like a
<<90>> shooting star and we didn't really
<<92>> understand what was so neat about it
<<93>> until the research started coming in
<<96>> about beta Kari awfully so the way that
<<97>> we understand it the phyto cannabinoid
<<100>> so the beta Kari awfully in this case
<<102>> comes in and interacts with a receptor
<<105>> on the cell surface you think of your
<<107>> windows of your house right you're
<<109>> getting things that are interacting with
<<110>> your window then it changes what you do
<<112>> inside your house
<<113>> you don't actually come into contact
<<114>> with it but it changes what you do if
<<116>> you see rain on your window you pick up
<<118>> an umbrella you wear a different outfit
<<121>> that day so it's that same kind of idea
<<122>> we're having things that are interacting
<<124>> with the surface of the cell they're
<<126>> changing things that are happening
<<127>> inside the cell there's a cascade
<<129>> there's this this chain reaction of
<<133>> things that happens once that receptor
<<136>> gets activated and other molecules
<<139>> inside the cell start to get excited and
<<141>> they start to change and they start to
<<143>> interact with other things and
<<144>> eventually what happens is the DNA
<<147>> inside of our nucleus actually goes to
<<150>> work and different genes are upregulated
<<152>> or downregulated other signaling
<<154>> molecules are either increased in amount
<<157>> or decreased in amount we have support
<<160>> and strength that can come to the immune
<<162>> system of the body and the immune
<<163>> functioning of the body we have support
<<166>> and strength that can come to the
<<167>> endocrine system of the body if you
<<170>> combine those two things together and
<<172>> now we're talking about the chemical
<<174>> profile of the body especially through
<<176>> the endocrine system a lot of times we
<<178>> have discomfort in a variety of
<<180>> different ways and we can be inhibitory
<<182>> of those processes within the body we
<<185>> can actually stop them from occurring
<<186>> and so a lot of people have remarkable
<<189>> outcomes in a variety of different ways
<<191>> with the discomfort that they're feeling
<<193>> in the end product what we're looking
<<195>> for is we want exactly what we find in
<<198>> the plant and that comes with a lot of
<<201>> time and a lot of experience and
<<203>> understanding the plant materials that
<<204>> you're working with
<<206>> and even the uniqueness of the chemistry
<<208>> whether we have dominant compounds or
<<210>> whether we have more subtle compounds in
<<212>> chemistry within the oil each one of
<<214>> them plays an important role in the
<<216>> value of the overall constitution of the
<<219>> oil and the benefits that we can expect
<<221>> to have from that oil one thing that is
<<223>> unique about our Copiah essential oil is
<<226>> that we're using four different species
<<227>> from the Copa Farah trees this makes a
<<230>> very complete profile where you see
<<233>> maybe other Copiah that is offered and
<<235>> it's just simply a fraction which is
<<237>> just a part of all of the components
<<240>> that are available through the different
<<241>> species where we're using all four the
<<244>> reason we've done this is to create a
<<246>> unique synergy with the chemistry not
<<248>> only are we looking for purity but we're
<<250>> also looking for therapeutic potency the
<<253>> trees aren't harmed in any way this is a
<<255>> very sustainable way to be able to
<<256>> collect this essential oil and I think
<<259>> the the potential for this oil in the
<<261>> Amazon is completely endless there are
<<263>> so many trees and we're going to be able
<<265>> to create hundreds of jobs and that will
<<268>> just grow over time as we bring this
<<270>> market to the world
<<272>> [Music]
<<274>> we love to see how it's sourced we love
<<276>> to see how it's collected how it's
<<278>> distilled but the most important part is
<<281>> for us to connect with the people who
<<283>> are creating it for us these are real
<<285>> people their lives matter and for us to
<<289>> truly get to know them to understand
<<292>> what their families dealing with to
<<294>> understand what their needs are and to
<<296>> really come together as one is the most
<<299>> beautiful thing
<<302>> [Music]
<<306>> then I saw what is going on the soup is
<<310>> a children present chicken was the
<<317>> police
<<318>> [Music]
<<351>> to their privacy
