About this product
A quiet corner, a cushion, a few drops in the diffuser before you sit: Palo Santo belongs to the hour of meditation. Its name roughly translates from Spanish as holy wood, or holy stick, and the wood of this sacred tree has long been used for many purposes in South and Central America.
Burned as incense, the wood is traditionally used to ward off negativity, as an aid to meditation and for spiritual cleansing. This oil comes from Bursera graveolens wood harvested from fallen trees in Ecuador, a botanical relative of the Frankincense trees of India and Africa. Its aroma is hard to describe: perhaps a low heart note for perfumers, with traces of lemon (it is high in limonene, like Somali Frankincense), perhaps a hint of anise or spice, and a trifle balsamic, reminiscent of a fine wine. It feels at once grounding and light.

How to use
Diffuse a few drops before meditation or quiet time, or add it to a perfume blend as a low heart note. Dilute it in a carrier before it touches skin, and keep it out of reach of children. Store it in the dark, refrigerated if you can, and decant a half-empty bottle into a smaller, full one.
Holy wood for a quiet hour.
