Spiritual Benefits
Palo Santo is burned in ceremonies by Shamans for its energetically cleansing and healing properties similar to Sage. It creates a pleasant, fresh smelling smoke with hints of mint and citrus that work well in keeping away mosquitoes and other flying insects. Its uplifting scent raises your vibration in preparation for meditation and allows for a deeper spiritual connection. It is also said that Palo Santo enhances creativity and brings good fortune. I keep a bowl in my living room. Even unlit, its beautiful aroma fills the space.
Healing Benefits
Palo Santo is traditionally used for relieving common cold and flu symptoms, asthma, allergies, migraines and headaches, stress, anxiety, depression, inflammation, sea sickness, arthritis and more. In aromatherapy, Palo Santo essential oil 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, regenerate skin conditions, and promote skin nutrition. It also contains high levels of D-Limonene and Monotropenes, which scientific researchers are studying for their anti-cancerous effects and chemotherapeutic properties.
Sustainable & Non-Toxic
Palo Santo is wildcrafted and ethically harvested with sustainable practices, coming solely from naturally fallen trees. The essential oil can also only be extracted from dead trees and fallen branches using “Vapor Distillation” without the use of dangerous chemicals or solvents. It’s also a wonderful non-toxic alternative to insect repellants.
