The soothing aroma of Palo Santo can help reduce stress, anxiety, and tension, allowing you to unwind and find moments of relaxation. This might also be due to limonene, a super common and cheap fragrance ingredient. It is found in many plants, e.g. rosemary, eucalyptus, lavender, lemongrass, peppermint and it's the main component (about 50-90%) of the peel oil of citrus fruits. 

D-limonene has also been proven to reduce cancer growth. A recent Tokyo study on the phytochemical proved to increase levels of liver enzymes involved in detoxifying carcinogens. Various animal studies with D-limonene demonstrated that it reduced mammary tumor growth. In a 2013 animal study , inhaled limonene exhibited anti-stress and anti-anxiety properties. 

Active ingredients extracted from the trunk of a Palo Santo tree have antimicrobial, analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties and can help relieve bloating, nausea and cramping, as well as headaches and stomachaches. 

Palo Santo Essential Oil is also used in practices that promote physical & spiritual healing, calm feelings of stress & anxiety. When the unique fragrance of Palo Santo scent stimulates the brain, the body turns on its relaxation response, blood circulation increases, and we experience feelings of mental and emotional clarity, peace and tranquility plus many other beneficial effects. 

Palo Santo is a high frequency essential oil, raising ones vibration to Divine peace. The oil also works with the Sacral chakra, enhancing creativity and balances sexual energy. It also helps to repel mosquitoes. 

Light the stick at a 45-degree angle, let it burn for 30 seconds, blow out the flame, and let the smoke cleanse your space. Experience the power of Palo Santo and invite positivity and serenity into your life. Once you have finished smudging, gently press the smoldering end of the stick into a fireproof container or ashtray to fully extinguish it
