Ecuadorian Palo Santo Essential Oil 100% Pure Wildcrafted

Ecuadorian Palo Santo Essential Oil 100% Pure Wildcrafted (15ml)

Bursera graveolens, known in Spanish as Palo Santo, is a wild tree native to coastal South America. Belonging to the same family as copal, myrrh and frankincense, Palo Santo literally translates to “Holy Wood”. It was renowned among Incan cultures and is now traditionally used by present-day shamans and healers for its purification attributes. When burned, the smoke is believed to provide medicinal and therapeutic healing energies, giving you a more profound connection to your being.

Common Uses:

• When placed within distilled water or an atomizer bottle, Palo Santo creates a pleasant, fresh smoke that works well in keeping away mosquitoes and other flying insects.
• Palo Santo is thought to possess therapeutic properties, including the potential ability to help uplift mood, strengthen vitality and aid in protection. It is said that the oil may be beneficial for meditation, concentration and enhancing creativity.
• Palo Santo is traditionally used for relieving common colds, flu symptoms, stress, asthma, headaches and inflammation.
• Palo Santo can also be used in massage work to assist in promoting a greater sense of calm and physical health.
