Botanical Name: Bursera graveolens

Description: Our rare 100% pure Palo Santo Essential Oil, Bursera graveolens, is distilled in small quantities from ecologically and sustainably harvested wood gathered in Machalilla Park on Ecuador's Pacific coast.

Of Interest: The tree of Palo Santo is originally from the dry tropical forests on the coast of the South Pacific, Ecuador being the main country where this tree is found. The Palo Santo Oil is only concentrated and deposited in the interior of the tree trunk. It can take up to 10 years to produce the oil and to get concentrated in the trunk. Only tree branches that fall naturally from the ground are used to make this oil. The average life of the tree of Palo Santo is between 80 and 90 years.

History: The natives in Ecuador have traditionally used Palo Santo as an incense and perfume for the home, and in ancestral rituals where shamans use this oil for spiritual cleansing.

Aromatherapy Use: Palo Santo Essential Oil is widely used in personal aromatherapy, meditation, and ritual practice for its warm, resinous fragrance.

How to Use: For aromatic use, add a few drops to a diffuser, atomizer bottle with distilled water, or aroma lamp. For topical use, dilute 3:1 with a carrier oil before applying to the skin. Patch-test before broader use. Keep out of reach of children. If pregnant, nursing, or under a doctor's care, consult a physician before use.

SM EO Palo Santo Ecuador

Pacific Coast, Ecuador

Palo Santo, Bursera Graveolens, is an aromatic tree native to the Galapagos Islands and the dry forests of South America. In traveling along the coastline of South America’s Pacific coast from Northern Peru to Ecuador one is captured by the perfume of Palo Santo. If you follow the perfume trail you’ll reach the Machalilla National Park, located in the Province of Manabi, on the coastline of Ecuador, where you will find the biggest concentration of Palo Santo trees in all of South America. As in Peru, the Palo Santo tree in Ecuador is protected by the national government and can only be harvested under strict conditions. Shamans Market supports these sustainable practices through its association with Deltatau Palo Santo Foundation of Manabi. When walking the trails of the Machalilla National Park with the sun at its peak, the brackish air from the ocean fills up with the aroma of the Palo Santo resin and you are filled with a sense of peace and tranquility.

The name Palo Santo means "Holy Wood", and what a fitting name that is. The magic of Palo Santo is in the alchemical process that happens after the death of a limb or a tree. You see, in order for the Palo Santo to gain its magical and medicinal properties it must die, but not just any death – only a natural death of a wise old limb or tree. The Palo Santo trees live for 80 to 90 years. After this death the tree must remain in its natural habitat for 4 to 10 years to complete its metamorphosis. Only then do its sacred, medicinal and mystical properties come alive.

How To Use

Dilute by the drop: Essential oils are very strong and must be diluted (usually in a carrier oil) or incorporated into something like a massage oil, lotion, or aroma spray. The essential content should only account for 0.5-2% of the total blend.

Care Tips For Your Essential Oils: Store with cap closed tightly in a cool dark space and away from light. Keep away from direct heat or open flame. If stored correctly, essential oils will last 1-4 years.

Safety Tips For Your Essential Oils: Always use essential oils with caution. Inhalation or prolonged exposure may cause dizziness, nausea, and headaches. Only use essential oils by the drop and always dilute. Before topical use, always perform a skin patch test. Keep essentials out of reach of children and pets. Not recommended for internal use. Do not apply to eyes or mouth.

This limited edition sacred oil has been created from the finest Ecuadorian Palo Santo (Holy Wood) tree twigs, “the ones closest to heaven and furthest from the land.” It was created in sacred space and time with healing intention and lots of love. The fragrance brings to mind the scent of citrusy floral with lemon and jasmine and a few notes of wood.  It is similar to frankincense, its close relative.

Palo Santo Essential Oil can generate states of calmness and relaxation and is beneficial for meditation, concentration, and for enhancing creativity and learning. In spiritual aromatherapy, it can be used as perfume to release negative energy and to purify and cleanse the spirit.
