Sacred Body Rituals
At Sacred Body Rituals we practice deep LOVE for Palo Santo - Bursera Graveolens. We are honored to have received the calling to work with this magical plant. We are mystified every day by this incredible wood, not only by it's healing power & sublime aroma, but also by the incredible community growing worldwide inspired & connected by this plant.
Besides the oils’ powerful cathartic qualities, the high concentration of limonene in the resin means Palo Santo oil has some very practical uses as well, those include:
Detoxifier & Immune Enhancer- The properties found in Palo Santo are known to calm the nervous system & support the immune system. They can turn off inflammatory responses from poor diet, pollution, stress & illness. They can also help to recover from illness, fatigue & emotional pain.
De- Stressor & Relaxant – It is a grounding & centering oil that supports emotional & spiritual health. It turns on the body’s relaxation responses & reduces panic, anxiety & insomnia.
