Botanical Origin and History of Palo Santo


Palo Santo, scientifically named Bursera graveolens, is a tree native to the tropical regions of South America, especially Ecuador and Peru. Its wood has been valued by ancient civilizations like the Incas, who used it in spiritual rituals, healing ceremonies, and to purify spaces. Literally translated as "sacred wood," Palo Santo is known for its aromatic resin released when burning small pieces of wood, but a precious essential oil is also obtained through steam distillation.


For Young Living, sustainability and respect for the environment are fundamental. Palo Santo essential oil is sourced from naturally fallen trees or dead branches, ensuring ethical and responsible harvesting practices that protect this valuable species and its ecosystem. This method guarantees that the vitality of the tree and its aromatic properties are preserved in every drop of oil.


📋 How to Use


Directions for Use


Young Living's Palo Santo essential oil is highly concentrated and should be used with caution and according to appropriate instructions:



  • Diffusion: Add 3-5 drops to your favorite essential oil diffuser. It can be diffused to create a relaxing, purifying, or stimulating environment for meditation. It is ideal for living or work spaces.

  • Topical Application: Dilute 1 drop of Palo Santo essential oil with 1-2 drops of a carrier oil, such as Young Living's V-6™ Enhanced Vegetable Oil Complex, fractionated coconut oil, or jojoba oil. Apply to wrists, temples, neck, and along the spine. Perform a patch test on a small skin area before general application.

  • Direct Inhalation: Place 1-2 drops in the palm of your hand, rub them gently, and inhale the aroma directly from your cupped hands over your nose. You can also use specific essential oil jewelry or personal inhalers.

  • Aromatic Baths: Add 5-10 drops of essential oil diluted in one tablespoon of Epsom salts or a neutral shower gel before adding it to bathwater for an immersive and relaxing experience.


Avoid contact with eyes, the inside of the ears, and sensitive skin areas.



Main Chemical Composition


The chemical profile of Palo Santo essential oil is complex and rich, harboring a diversity of compounds that contribute to its aromatic characteristics and potential properties. Among its main components are:



  • Limonene: A monoterpene known for its fresh, citrusy aroma, found in high concentration in Palo Santo and one of the main contributors to its distinctive fragrance.

  • Alpha-terpineol: A monoterpenic alcohol that provides floral and woody notes, contributing to the complexity of the aroma.

  • Carvone: A monoterpenic ketone that may add a spicy and herbal touch.

  • Other compounds such as sesquiterpenes and furans are present in smaller quantities, completing its unique aromatic and chemical profile.


This synergy of components gives Palo Santo essential oil its unmistakable aroma, which is simultaneously sweet, woody, slightly citrusy, and minty, making it highly valued in aromatherapy.
