Attention

Absolutely avoid the " do-it-yourself" internal use of essential oils,as this can be highly dangerous. It is advisable to always proceed with a medical prescription issued exclusively by a competent and qualified professional.
As per the declaration of conformity published in the brochure, this essential oil was obtained exclusively from the processing of natural plant raw materials. The
information leaflet included with the packaging contains all the information relating to the natural preparation, including the analytical bulletin, the declaration of conformity, the botanical description, the possibility of use as a " food flavoring", etc.

Extraction

The most common commercially available Palo Santo oil is obtained by steam distilling the wood shavings of the tree. A much rarer and more valuable essential oil (this one) is extracted, again through steam distillation, from the ripe fruits; it is a nearly colorless liquid with an intense, warm, sweet, creamy-spicy aroma reminiscent of pepper with a vaguely citrusy undertone, truly unmistakable.

Affinity

Palo Santo fruit essential oil harmonizes well with Jasmine and Myrrh absolutes as well as with the essential oils of: Ambrette, Clove, Galbanum, Frankincense, Pink Pepper, Mountain Pine, Opoponax, Rose, Sandalwood and Styrax.

Property

Palo Santo fruit essential oil, non-toxic and non-irritating, has antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, and antifungal properties; it is also an effective insect repellent and a beneficial anxiolytic (the latter properties can be enjoyed using a simple diffuser).
It is also a traditional remedy for treating wounds.

Uses

Palo santo essential oil is occasionally used in artisanal cosmetics and perfumery as an unusual fragrance component with woody-spicy notes. Industrial uses of this unusual raw material are limited due to its scarcity on the market.

Botany

Also known in English-speaking countries as "Holy Wood", Palo Santo is native to Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula; it grows wild throughout most of Central and South America. It is a dry shrub that can reach over ten meters in height, with smooth, gray bark, pinnate leaves, white flowers, and ovoid fruits that turn red as they ripen.
Botanically, it is a direct relative of Frankincense from the Horn of Africa.
The plant's name, of Spanish origin, means "Sacred Stick", due to its age-old ritual (and also therapeutic) use by numerous Indo-American cultures, whose shamans, to this day, still light it to release its renowned aromatic fumigations. It is thought that the Incas' ceremonial "sacred fires" were fueled with Palo Santo wood.
It now seems certain that the essential oil obtained from Palo Santo from the south-Ecuadorian regions has distinct characteristics and is of extremely high quality.
