Palo Santo Essential Oil

Palo Santo Essential Oil

This wild crafted Palo Santo is an aromatic wild growing tree which belongs to the same Torchwood family like Myrrh, Frankincense or Copal. The name means “holy wood” and refers to an age-old healing practice structured in the knowledge and ceremonial tradition of South and Mesoamerican shamans or “curanderos”. This mystical liquid is obtained by steam-distillation from the naturally fallen trees.
