In the case of Palo Santo, this meticulousness ensures a product of high purity and concentration.
🧪 Ingredients
Origin and botany
Palo Santo, scientifically known as Bursera graveolens, is a tree native to the tropical regions of South America, predominantly in Ecuador and Peru. It belongs to the Burseraceae family, the same as frankincense and myrrh. It grows wild, and its wood is traditionally harvested from naturally fallen trees or dead branches, which ensures a sustainable practice and respect for nature. The wood is rich in aromatic compounds that develop as the tree ages and dries. Oshadhi ensures that its oil comes from wild-grown wood in Ecuador, guaranteeing both its purity and responsible sourcing.
