PALO SANTO

ORIGINS

At the core of every NUUBOU scent blend is the sacred essence of palo santo. Also referred to as bursera graveolens, palo santo is a wild tree native to Peru, Venezuela, Ecuador, and other South American countries where it has been integral to the spiritual practice and rituals of indigenous tribes. Often described as “holy wood”, palo santo has been used for centuries to diffuse and transform the energy of spaces for enhanced mental wellbeing, harmony, and deeper connections. Usually used in its wooden form, we formulate with palo santo essential oil to avoid the smoky residue associated with the burning of it.
