Used for generations and beloved for its unique, calming scent, Palo Santo—Spanish for “holy wood”—has long been a treasured part of aromatherapy traditions. The name comes from its historic use to help ward off negative energy and create a more peaceful environment. Today, it remains just as powerful for creating a sense of calm and clarity in your space.
Steam-distilled from the aged wood of the Bursera graveolens tree, this oil delivers a beautifully sweet, woody, and slightly citrus aroma that feels grounding from the very first inhale. It has earned its place in daily rituals and wellness routines for those looking to refresh their space, restore their mood, and reconnect with what matters most.
Why Palo Santo?
Beyond its deeply comforting aroma, Palo Santo essential oil offers a range of supportive uses that help make daily life feel more intentional and centered.
Emotionally Grounding
Inhaling Palo Santo’s soft, woodsy scent can help promote a sense of calm and emotional balance during times of mental fatigue.
Muscle and Joint Comfort
When diluted with a carrier oil and massaged into tired areas, this oil adds a soothing touch to post-workout routines or long days on your feet.
Breath of Fresh Air
When diffused, Palo Santo’s naturally clarifying aroma can help create a cleaner-feeling atmosphere and support overall respiratory well-being.
Head-Clearing Aroma
Its crisp, resinous scent is ideal for moments when you need to reset and unwind, especially when tension seems to weigh heavy on the mind.
How to Use Palo Santo Essential Oil
Adding Palo Santo to your routine is simple, whether you're new to essential oils or a seasoned pro.
In the Diffuser
Add 2-3 drops (for every 100mL of water) to your favorite diffuser during meditation, journaling, or before sleep to create a serene space.
Topical Use
Dilute with a carrier oil (maximum 3% dilution) and apply to areas of muscle tension, like shoulders, neck, or back. Start with a lower dilution to see how your skin responds.
Custom Roll-On Blend
Combine Palo Santo with other calming oils in a roll-on bottle with your favorite carrier oil for a grounding on-the-go blend.
DIY Yoga Mat Spray
Mix a few drops with alcohol and distilled water in a spray bottle for a purifying yoga mat spray. Gently shake before each use and spritz across your mat to refresh and revive before or after practice.
