Palo santo tree oil - properties

Palo santo oil is obtained by steam distillation from the exotic bursera graveolens plant. Interestingly, only dead wood that has previously fallen to the ground is used - sap only appears in the decay phase. In South American countries, where the name "palo santo" comes from, it means "sacred wood". – as it turns out, it has a lot to do with the truth.

Palo santo has antimicrobial activity - when inhaled, it facilitates breathing and supports the immune system against minor infections. The product has neurotonic properties, so it can regulate the nervous system. The oil also repels mosquitoes and other insects in the best way possible – naturally.
