Palo Santo Oil is sourced from the tree known as palo santo or Bulnesia sarmientoi, which is found in various regions of Latin America. Palo santo is quite rare, and its essential oil only comes from the heartwood of a fallen tree that has aged for years, making it one of the most sought-after fragrances in aromatherapy.

History of Palo Santo

Revered for both its scarcity and its ability to promote unparalleled positivity, palo santo translates from Spanish to mean "saint wood," and is considered holy by many Latin American cultures. The tree often lives up to 90 years and does not develop its significant benefits until after it has perished naturally and aged considerably. This means that its oil is harvested very conscientiously with environmental concerns carefully factored in to its journey from the wilderness to a vial. The resulting oil is something to be cherished, with properties that include gently pushing away occasional stress. Those lucky enough to take in the pure aroma of palo santo will find themselves blissfully adrift in an atmosphere of stability and tranquility...
