Palo Santo Young Living Essential Oils

Palo Santo Young Living Essential Oils 2- 5ml bottles Native to the seasonally dry forests stretching from the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico to the tropical savannas of Ecuador, the palo santo tree is an American relative of frankincense and myrrh. Also known as holy wood, palo santo has been revered by indigenous peoples for ritual purification rites and other uses for centuries. Palo Santo essential oil is steam distilled from sustainably wildcrafted wood that has fallen naturally from trees and been allowed to dry for a period of months to years. The palo santo forest at Young Living's Finca Botanica Farm and Distillery in Ecuador is a fascinating place to visit to witness the newly planted trees and the old trees with dead bark lying ready to be collected and distilled. Palo Santo essential oil comes from distilling old, dead wood that dies a natural death. There are many large fallen trees in the palo santo forest that are connected by one root and, therefore, are still alive.
