Palo Santo (Bursera graveolens)
Palo Santo, commonly the aromatic heartwood of Bursera graveolens, is richly scented thanks to its high content of limonene, α-terpineol, menthofuran, and various sesquiterpenes¹. In traditional Andean and coastal South American cultures, the wood has been used in ritual‐smoke form to “clear energy,” for mild topical applications, or as aromatic incense². Laboratory studies of its essential oil show in-vitro effects such as cytotoxicity against certain tumour cell lines and anti-microbial activity¹.
