Palo Santo Oil
is made from the "holy wood" of Ecuador's Bursera graveolens and is powerful for use in spiritual and energy work as well as physical healing.

In Aromatherapy, Palo Santo is considered to be antiseptic, anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial. It is said to have excellent absorption properties and can be used in massage therapy to relieve pain and inflammation of the muscles and joints, and regenerates skin conditions, promote skin nutrition, healing and flexibility. It can be used as part of a remedy for bronchial coughs, colds, nasal flu, allergies and asthma.

Palo Santo is traditionally used in South America as an antiseptic and to remove impurities from the skin and body, as well as to clear homes of "bad energy" and bring in good luck. It is also used to repel mosquitoes and other insects. It is invaluable for healing wounds, sprains and other injuries. Like frankincense, Palo Santo is esteemed for its ability to uplift the mood and to assist people with depression. It is also useful in meditation, energy work, and spiritual practices.

The oil is used for calming panic attacks and anxiety. Also effective for headaches and migraines, especially in combination with frankincense. Excellent for alleviating pain from tight muscles and restricted joints.
The oil is also used for skin care, especially acne or skin infections.

Palo Santo essential oil can generate states of calmness and relaxation and is beneficial for meditation, concentration, and for enhancing creativity and learning. It is considered sacred and is used in ancestral rituals where shamans use the oil to clear bad energy from the bodies and to purify and cleanse the spirit.

Tips for Using Palo Santo: Palo Santo essential oil is great on bones and joints - rub 2-3 drops on joints to reduce bone discomfort. I always use a few drops on my back and/or neck after a chiropractic adjustment - it seems to help the adjustment last longer.
For broken bones, using a combination of Palo Santo, Idaho Balsam Fir and Frankincense essential oils helps with pain and bone rejuvenation. Most people notice a shortened recuperation time.
If you fall or bump yourself, apply a little Palo Santo to the area - you'll feel better the next day or sooner.

Panic/Anxiety Blend
8 drops Palo Santo
1 drop Neroli
3 drops Frankincense
2 drops Myrrh
Blend undiluted in a small bottle. Carry with you to inhale whenever anxiety arises.

The Palo Santo oil is concentrated and deposited in the interior of the tree trunk. It takes up to 10 years to produce the oil and to get concentrate in the trunk. Only tree branches that fall naturally from the ground are used to make this oil. The average life of the tree of Palo Santo is between 80 and 90 years.
In Ecuador, where much (if not all) of the essential oil is being produced, palo santo trees are protected and it is illegal to cut the trees down or harvest the branches. "Only the branches and trunks that have fallen naturally are gathered; there is no cutting of any live trees. The harvesters are careful to not damage the areas surrounding the trees, and do not create any new footpaths or roads. There is no waste of the harvested wood, with every piece being either distilled or used as medicine or incense."
The wood matures over time after the tree has died, developing a chemistry that makes for a very powerful essential oil. The same chemistry does not occur in cut branches or the wood of cut trees. It is said that the spirits of the sacred palo santo trees are carried in the essential oil and are part of what makes the oil so potent.
