PALO SANTO, THE HEALING TREE

it is believed that the Palo Santo has been around since prehistoric times. Ancient cultures such as Machalilla, Manteña and Valdivia were aware of its healing power and used it to heal both, body and soul of their patients through purification rituals led by healers or shamans.
At the time of burning, Palo Santo incense smoke produces a pleasant aroma which acts as a mosquito repellent and surprisingly, also relieves bone ailments, headaches, allergies, flu, among others. This is the reason why the Spanish conquerors, stunned by its healing properties, started calling it “Palo Santo”, which means “Holy Tree”.
But the smoke is not the only way to draw on the benefits of the “Bursera graveolens”. Today essential oils extracted directly from the tree have revolutionized the world of alternative medicine, especially in the area of aromatherapy, where it is used among other things, to combat stress and tension, helping us to regain our balance and harmony, all thanks to the healing power of this element given freely to us by mothernature.
