In Spanish, Palo Santo means "Holy Wood", and the name of this oil points to its magical and therapeutic properties. Palo Santo was used by the Incas to purify the spirit of negative energies, and is still used by Shamans and natural healers to clear and cleanse one's energy field.
Palo Santo essential oil is extracted from the heartwood of the Bursera Graveolens tree, which belongs to the same botanical family as Frankincense and Myrrh. Like Frankincense and Myrrh, Palo Santo shares similar spiritual healing benefits, while possessing insect repelling properties.
Palo Santo essential oil contains notes of mint and citrus, driving away bugs and mosquitos and clearing the mind for meditation. Palo Santo essential oil is awesome in the diffuser or inhaled straight out of the bottle. Some people cannot enjoy the aroma of Palo Santo unless it is diluted or blended with other oils. We also offer Palo Santo in a meditative blend called Wisdom & Stillness.
