Health EnthusiastHow long have you been using essential oils? 5+ yearsRated 5 out of 5 starsLooking forward to diffusing this oil during meditation
I usually burn palo santo for cleansing rituals and am happily able to diffuse the oil as I love the aroma for times when I just want that grounding scent in the air at other times of the day!

Professional AromatherapistHow long have you been using essential oils? 5+ yearsRated 5 out of 5 starsSweet, Woody and Grounding, wonderful!
My recent purchase of Palo Santo essential oil has been one of my favorites. It's perfect for blending in an essential oil blend that helps promote inner peace.
This oil is grounding and fragrant. A wonderful alternative to burning the holy wood itself.
