Palo Santo Essential Oil (Bursera graveolens)

HIGH ALTITUDE NATURALS™ Palo Santo essential oil is steam-distilled from sustainably harvested from the aged heartwood of Bursera graveolens tree growing wild in the mountains of Ecuador.

Palo Santo means holy wood or sacred tree, as well as Argentine or Paraguay lignum vitae. This sacred tree has been used for centuries for its healing properties and potential to ward off negative energy.

Palo Santo essential oil has a unique woody, fruity/balsamic sweet aroma, with citrus, mint and soft spice nuances that is somewhat reminiscent of Frankincense. Palo Santo, the Spanish name given to this South American tree, means ‘holy wood’, an appropriate name for its many applications in spiritual practices.

The smoke of Palo Santo wood is traditionally used in ceremony similar to the use of White Sage in smudging practices. It comes from the same botanical family (Burseraceae) as Frankincense and Myrrh and the aroma is often used to evoke an ambiance of calm and sacred contemplation in the same way as its botanical cousins.
