Read supplier product description
Palo Santo roughly translates to “Holy Wood” or “Holy Stick” in Spanish, and the wood of this sacred tree has long been used for many purposes in South and Central America. Ideal for holistic aromatherapy, anxiety, depression, fatigue, fear, grief, panic attacks, stress. Burned as incense, the wood has been traditionally used to ward off negativity, to be an aid to meditation and for spiritual cleansing. Botanically related to the Indian and African Frankincense trees, Palo Santo’s wood may share some of the properties of the Frankincense resins. Aromatically this new batch was a surprise to us. Deeper than our previous specimen, perhaps a low heart note for the perfumers. Our noses detected traces of lemon (not surprising, since the oil, like our Somallian Frankincense, is quite high in Limonene). Perhaps a trace of anise, or one of the spices. A trifle balsamic, reminiscent of a fine wine. Obviously a very hard to describe aroma! (I searched Arctander, but when discussing Palo Santo he refers the reader to Guaiacwood, Bulnesia sarmienti, a totally different species. Nor does Burfield mention it. We are left to our own devices.) I have seen much written on the internet, but frankly, I am extremely skeptical of the claims of the multilevel marketing company promoting it. Our initial reaction: Like Frankincense, it should be a useful respiratory oil. Our experience? It is a WONDERFUL respiratory oil! Both Christi and I experienced what can only be described as an opening or lightening of our sinus cavities, and bronchial area. Since she is extremely bothered by respiratory allergies this month, and I have COPD we were both delighted with our body’s reactions! Emotionally, we both had a feeling of “lightness,” indicating that the essential oil might be useful for stress relief. I have seen the oil highly recommended as a meditation aid, and suggestions that it may be useful in a massage blend for the pain of rheumatism, arthritis, etc. I have also seen it recommended as an antidote for anxiety and panic attacks. We haven’t had time to explore any of these uses, and would welcome feedback. I gave a tiny sample to a friend, a gifted intuitive and spiritual healer. Her reaction: “Hi Marge, Just a quick note to thank you for the lovely Experience that this sacred brought to me. The oil seemed to possess a very magical ability to ground me, without much ado (because it is from a tree); then it cleared and opened the 3rd eye and crown chakras. Addtionally, it traveled up beyond the crown chakra to clear and open my soul chakra, which sits about 6″ above the crown, thus placing me in open and clear connection with God.” She went on to discuss that the essential oil seemed to align and connect all chakras. A true gift for any energy worker!!! SHELF LIFE: Approximately 1 to 2 years after you open the bottle. Storing in the dark, refrigerated, and decanting half full bottles into smaller, full bottles will extend shelf life. GC/MS Batch # PE-48611 Batch #EC-

AUTOMATIC OIL REVIEW
More evidence needed for this report
What the evidence tells you
1 report connected; 1 directly linked by the supplier. Read the evidence before comparing chemistry.
1 source document archived
The downloaded source document is preserved with its content fingerprint, so later changes do not overwrite the evidence. Archiving alone does not establish its report type or quantitative validity.
Report linked from the product page
The supplier connects this product to the report. Confirm the batch on the bottle before applying these figures to a purchase.
Original analytical report status needs confirmation
These source documents are saved, but their status as original laboratory reports is unconfirmed or they are publisher summaries. They remain outside historical anomaly conclusions.
Chemical extraction needs review
Automatically extracted figures are visible for inspection. They are excluded from historical anomaly conclusions until the extraction is reviewed.
Comparison context is incomplete
Missing or unconfirmed: plant part, extraction method, origin, analysis method, batch, exact analysis date. Unknown values are not assumed to match known values.
Numerical comparison is not supported for this report
The source describes the analysis as qualitative. Its listed figures remain visible, but are excluded from numerical historical anomaly conclusions.
Source extraction has review notes
The source describes a qualitative GC/MS analysis; these figures are not validated mass fractions. The source includes reproduction restrictions; the archived original remains private. Additional source extraction notes require review against the original document.
Not enough comparable history to assess differences
A range requires at least three earlier, reviewed original reports with the same botanical, chemotype, origin, plant part, extraction, analysis method, percentage basis and storage context. Missing and trace values are never replaced with zero.
