Palo Santo Essential Oil
Palo Santo essential oil has a sweet, woody, citrusy and slightly minty aroma. Many find it reminiscent of frankincense, but it has a truly distinct characteristic all of its own. Palo Santo essential oil is derived from the wood of the Palo Santo tree, which is native to South America. This oil has been used for centuries in traditional medicine for its various benefits. Some of the benefits of Palo Santo essential oil include its ability to relieve stress and anxiety, improve focus and concentration, and promote relaxation and sleep. It is also known for its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, which can help to soothe skin irritations and boost the immune system. Palo Santo essential oil is often used in aromatherapy to create a calming and uplifting atmosphere, making it a popular choice for meditation and yoga practices. Additionally, its woody, sweet, and slightly citrusy aroma makes it a popular ingredient in perfumes and cosmetics.
