Palo Santo has very ancient origins; it was used by Inca shamans in their religious rituals as a means of warding off negative energies through a dense smoke with great spiritual power.
Incense sticks and an aromatic essential oil with numerous properties are made from the wood of the Palo Santo tree. The botanical description of the Palo Santo tree ("holy wood") was only published in 1824 following a German expedition to the Americas, but it had already been known and used for centuries by South American populations.
Palo Santo production, both for incense and essential oil, is carried out in full respect of the environment and the tree itself, as only naturally fallen and dried Palo Santo specimens are used, since young trees do not possess the required characteristics: to produce its distinctive scent, for example, trees must be at least 10 years old and naturally dried.
Fun Fact
According to traditional use, Palo Santo is primarily used to counteract negative energies that may be the cause of physical ailments for which no other causes have been identified, or of negative psychological conditions such as depression, sadness, and bad mood. According to the original worldview of some South American populations, Palo Santo protects both adults and infants from "bad energy" and "white plague," negative energies believed to cause the evil eye and illness when coming into contact with strangers.
Palo Santo is used instead of traditional incense to purify homes and gently repel mosquitoes and other insects. Children's clothing and diapers are also exposed to the smoke to protect them from bites. It is used in both secular and religious ceremonies, and in some cases by the Catholic Church.
Traditionally, the fresh liquid that oozes from an incision in the Palo Santo bark is used to treat scalp fungus. Its resin is used to disinfect newborns' umbilical wounds and to treat toothaches and cavities. Palo Santo is also used internally to prepare an herbal tea for treating stomach pain, intestinal problems, vomiting, general body aches, and respiratory and urinary tract problems. It is also used for psychosomatic and mood disorders.
Main benefits of Palo Santo oil:
- For asthma attacks and allergies.
- To relieve coughs and colds.
- To ease anxiety.
- For headaches.
- For meditation and psycho-physical relaxation.

Frankincense is also known as olibanum, a term derived from the Arabic al-lubán ("the milk"), referring to the milky substance extracted from the tree.
Olibanum is extracted from Boswellia serrata and has a characteristic citrus scent. Several types of frankincense are available depending on the plant species and harvest time.
Fun Fact:
It is interesting to note that frankincense has always been highly sought after, and history tells us many fascinating things about how ancient cultures used it. Tradition tells us that in Babylon, around 60,000 pounds of frankincense resin were burned every year for their aromas and their role in rituals. We also see the Magi bringing incense along with gold and myrrh to the baby Jesus, and since frankincense was the mixture used at the time and they had brought myrrh, it can therefore be inferred that the incense spoken of was frankincense and it was more than a costly and fragrant gift, the benefits of frankincense essential oil are well documented and have made this tree resin famous to this day.

Spikenard (Nardostachys grandiflora) is a flowering plant of the Valerian family that grows in the Himalayas of Tibet, India and Nepal.
It is known that the use of spikenard is very ancient, on the one hand because it is an integral part of the Indian Ayurvedic tradition, and on the other because it was considered in ancient Egypt, the Middle East and ancient Rome as a luxury perfume.
Many ancient texts consider spikenard as a product of great value, both monetary and spiritual. It has been used in many religious rites.
Curiosity
Spikenard was used by the Israelite people in the time of Moses. Its oil was considered a luxury in ancient Egypt, the Near East and Rome. It is mentioned in the Gospel. It is used by Mary of Bethany, sister of Lazarus (Jn 12, 1-8) and a woman (Lk 7, 36-50), who on one occasion during a meal in Bethany, used an extraordinary quantity of it (1 Roman pound, equivalent to 325 grams) to anoint the feet of Jesus and dry them with her own hair. From all this one can infer the extreme value of this essence, today extracted by distilling the Spikenard flowers coming from the mountains of Tibet.
A fragrance produced for millennia, typical and unique of the Holy Land.
