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”.
Palo Santo is burned in ceremonies by Shamans and Medicine people for
its energetically cleansing and healing properties similar to Sage. It
has been popularized and cherished by many because of its heavenly
presence in Ayahuasca circles. It creates a pleasant, fresh smelling
smoke with hints of mint and citrus that work well in keeping away
mosquitoes and other flying insects. It provides an uplifting scent
that raises your vibration in preparation for meditation and allows for a
deeper connection to Source. It is also said that Palo Santo enhances
creativity and brings good fortune to those who are open to its Magic.
Palo Santo is traditionally used for relieving common colds, flu
symptoms, stress, asthma, headaches, anxiety, depression, inflammation,
emotional pain and more… The oil can also be used during massage work
to seal intentions while calling in Spirit Allies for support and
protection.
Palo Santo can also be simmered in hot water and drank as a tea.
Great for calming the immune and nervous systems for faster recovery of
illness. In essential oil form, it is great for physical pain and
inflammation containing high levels of D-Limonene and Monotropenes.
