Health Benefits:

Palo Santo has settling, calming and grounding qualities, thus making it a great stress reducer as well as a superb oil for spiritual upliftment.  

Palo Santo is said to have an upward-lifting effect traditionally associated with this essential oil. Often used for shamanic ritual, it is a valuable tool for meditation, enhancing creativity, and for tasks requiring sustained concentration.

Cistus is much loved for the aroma it imparts in perfumery. Cistus is often recommended for meditation in conjunction with sandalwood or frankincense and rose.

How to Use:

Shaman Botanical Perfume can be applied directly as desired. 

More Information:

To harvest the oil, only dead trees that have been left lying on the ground for a minimum of two years can be used. The resin is driven into the heartwood when the wood dies and matures, developing it's unique and powerful chemistry. The average life of the Palo Santo tree is between 80 and 90 years.

Redolent of citrus and balsam, Palo Santo, like its cousin Frankincense, belongs to the category of “spiritual oils,” renowned for their esoteric and numinous character. This distillation is highly therapeutic and intriguingly complex.

For every liter of Palo Santo oil that Floracopeia purchases, we donate $25 to help replant these endangered trees.

Cistus is a distinct essential oil from labdanum, which is extracted from the resin or gum exudate of the same plant. Cistus grows in Spain, Portugal, France, Sicily, Greece, Algeria and Morocco.
