Description

Palo santo is a small tree that grows naturally in Latin America, particularly Paraguay, Brazil and Argentina.
Its hard, durable wood is used to make furniture, marquetry and costume jewellery. Its colour ranges from olive green to chocolate brown.

It is a sacred tree for the Indigenous peoples of Paraguay and is used in religious ceremonies. It is also known as “Palo santo”, although it is different from the tree also called Palo santo (Bursera graveolens), well known for purification through its smoke.
Guaiacwood essential oil is widely used in perfumery, both for its attractive aroma and for its fixative ability.
It is not an essential oil widely used therapeutically, despite having interesting properties.

Appearance: Appearance and fluidity vary with temperature; yellow to amber in colour.

Solubility: Insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oil

Precautions

Do not use during pregnancy or on children under 6 years of age.

Translated review. Just what I expected. I am Argentinian, and this palo santo oil is like the one I could get there, the original from Argentine Mesopotamia at the Triple Frontier. Excellent. I tried it: the same resin we used there. I am happy!

Excelente

Es lo que esperaba, soy Argentina y el aceite de palosanto es igual al que conseguía allá. El original de la mesopotamia Argentina, de la triple frontera. Es excelente lo he probado y es la misma resina que la que usábamos allá. Estoy feliz!

Pros (original): Excelente antimicotico y cicatrizante, es relajante y muy bueno para masajes descontracturante s.

Cons (original): Ninguna, solo que para introducirlo a una crema debes llevarlo primero a baño María, al ser una resina está sólido.

Translated review. it is hard in winter, so you need to warm it a little, but that is how you know it is good.

bueno pero ojo hay que calentarlo un poquitin

en invierno esta duro, asi que hay que calentarlo un poco pero asi se sabe que es bueno.

Gracias por tu valoración Clarice! El Palo Santo (Guaiaco) es la resina del árbol sin tratar, por ello a temperatura ambiente en invierno es sólido como si se tratara de una manteca. Como bien dices, calentándolo al baño maría se diluye y puedes trabajar con el. Es Excelente!
