Bursera graveolens – Palo Santo Resin

Palo Santo resin is a fragrant resin that is extracted from the wood of the Palo Santo tree (Bursera graveolens). The resin has been used for centuries by indigenous people in spiritual and medicinal practices, and is believed to have a range of beneficial properties.

About Palo Santo Resin

The Palo Santo tree, (Bursera graveolens), grows in the dry forests of Ecuador, Peru, and other parts of South America. The wood of the tree is highly valued for its pleasant aroma, which is both uplifting and calming. When burned it releases a smoke that is believed to have spiritual and healing properties, and has been used in shamanic rituals for centuries.

To extract the resin from the Palo Santo wood, the tree must be at least 4 to 10 years old. The resin is harvested by making small cuts in the bark, which allows the resin to flow out and harden over time. The resin is then collected and used for various purposes, including as incense, in aromatherapy, and in traditional medicine.
