What Is Palo Santo?
Palo Santo is a mystical tree that grows on the coast of South
America and is related to Frankincense, Myrrh and Copal. In Spanish,
the name literally means “Holy Wood”. It is part of the citrus family
and has sweet notes of pine, mint and lemon.
Ceremonial Benefits
Palo Santo is enjoyed by many for its energetically cleansing and
healing properties similar to Sage and Cedar. It is a strong medicine
that has been popularized for its heavenly presence in keeping energies
grounded and clear. It creates a pleasant, fresh smoke that works well
in keeping away mosquitoes and other flying insects which is one of the
prime uses for the people who live in Ecuador and Peru. It provides an
uplifting scent that raises your vibration in preparation for meditation
and allows for a deeper connection to the Source of all creation. It
is also said that Palo Santo enhances creativity and brings good fortune
to those who are open to its magic.
Healing Benefits
Palo Santo is traditionally used for relieving common colds, flu
symptoms, stress, asthma, headaches, anxiety, depression, inflammation,
emotional pain and more. This Essential Oil is great for Aromatherapy
and can also be used during massage work to assist in healing.
Great for calming the immune and nervous systems for faster recovery
of illness. In essential oil form, it works well for physical pain and
inflammation containing high levels of D-Limonene and Monotropenes that
are useful for cancer symptoms.
Sustainability
The best part of this magical tree is that it is wild crafted and
sustainably harvested by a family that has planted over 30,000 trees
back into the area over the last 10 years. The essential oil can only
be extracted from dead trees and fallen branches using “Vapor
Distillation” without the use of dangerous chemicals or solvents. This
insures a high quality product cared for with Love and Respect.

Burning Instructions
Use a candle, match or lighter to ignite your stick of Palo Santo.
Hold at about a 45 degree angle pointing the tip down toward the flame.
Allow it to burn for about 30 secs to 1 minute and then blow out.
Move about your workspace, home, car, bathroom or anywhere you would
like to clear the energy. The rich smell will also bring peace and
clarity to the moment along with good feelings . When finished, place
the stick in a fire proof bowl of metal, glass or clay. The glow will
end on its own unless you blow on the ember which will keep the smoke
going. Always use caution and respect when working with fire.
