We reforest palo santo. Bursera graveolens, known in spanish as "Palo Santo" (holy wood) is a tree that inhabits the coast of Ecuador. Palo santo has a high concentration of Limonene, a medicinal terpene known to be a strong antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, anti-fungal and antiseptic agent.Our supplier is an artisan distiller (Dante Bolcato "the alchemist"), only process wood that's been found to have died naturally in the forest. Our Palo Santo is utilized in a sustainable way, that allows us a traceability from its planting, picking, transformation and commercialization.Description: Our Palo Santo Essential Oil (Busera Graveolens), Spanish for “saint wood” or “holy wood”, comes from a family owned distillery in Ecuador which only distills the heartwood of Palo Santo trees that have died and fallen. Palo Santo wood is considered very spiritual in the local culture and is often used in ceremony; it is referred to by local people as “the tree that perfumes the axe that wounds”.No live trees are harmed in the production of our Palo Santo essential oil.History: Palo Santo means “Holy wood” and it has also been referred to as Saintwood. In the local culture, it is considered to be a powerful plant spirit and it is used both in ceremony and medicinally.A native Ecuadorian, who has studied and practices the local shamanic tradition says that by his personal experience, he has found that there are two kinds of people that react strongly to the smell of Palo Santo Essential Oil. Ones who have an illness often react quite positively to the smell while others, who have negative energies inside, react like “Dracula to garlic”. In traditional practices, negative energies are expelled by shamans during ceremonies in which pieces of the smoking wood are rotated over the “patient” in a counter-clockwise direction. Locals believe that similar ceremonies using the wood are capable of producing dramatic, even miraculous, healings.The process of life of this tree begins with the seed that is swallowed by small animals of the dry forest in Ecuador. The digestive process aids the seeds to germinate when expelled. Tree growth is quite slow, partially because they pass almost into a state of hibernation in the summer, or the season of no rain. The tree drops its leaves until the return of the rainy season. Occasionally, the dry forest will go through a period of up to four years without significant rainfall. It takes a calculated minimum of 50 years for the adult tree trunk to reach and approximate diameter of about 45 centimeters. The age of the oldest trees is not known for certain but, by counting tree rings, that some may be more than 100 years old.The Forest of Palo Santo is classified as xerophytic or dry; it is a primary Tropical dry forest. Within this forest there is a density of approximately 30 adult trees per hectare in the area indicated. The death of tree comes by natural processes, and one of them seems to be caused by an insect: a variety of coleopteran. The insects select a tree, perhaps at random, or because it is weak or sick, and deposit their eggs inside. The larvae consume the inside of the tree and it dies slowly and either falls or is left standing. Only the Palo Santo trees that have been dead for at least three years have accumulated the natural resin that is slowly absorbed into the heart wood and can yield this pure essential oil renowned for its healing powers.data sheet:Limoneneavg. 89.33%Botanical NameBursera GraveolensFamilyBursereacePart usedWoodWarningsNoneMethod of ExtractionSteam DistilledColorClear ConsistencyThinPerfumery NoteMiddleStrength of Initial AromaMediumAromatic DescriptionSweet, woody, citrusy and slightly mintyExpiration9 Years after production dateTen years ago it started an investigation about the history and properties of the Palo Santo tree located in Puerto Lopez County, in the Manabi Province. Nowadays, at that same place there’s an interesting reforestation project taking place, which is trying to rescue the forgotten tradition of planting for tomorrow. Unlike other species, the Palo Santo must fall by its own in order to extract the Palo Santo Essential oils and also get incense sticks which are used in aromatherapy . In this process not a single tree is cut down, doing so causes it to lose its properties. The wood that falls is what The Artisan uses to manufacture the products, and despite the fact that we don’t deforest, we do feel the responsibility to return to nature those fallen trees.We therefore support the Reforestation Project in Puerto Lopez, through a percentage of money generated by the sale of the products of Palo Santo, which is goes directly to the project. This funding enabled the creation of a greenhouse 6 years ago. Since then an estimated 40,000 trees have been planted. Many of these have been delivered to schools, colleges, institutions, Municipality of Puerto Lopez and even the Machalilla National Park, while the rest have given to people in a more individually way.In addition to helping preserve the environment, the sale of Palo Santo has allowed the training of artisans who work in the whole process of production of the various items. There are about 25 people who receive a fair salary and claim to be happy with their work situation and committed to deliver a quality product.What we have outlined here is a visionary project, the path is not easy, but it is important that we support the work of the craftsmen who still live in harmony with nature and take care of our only home, Earth.
