I’ve recently started a journey of figuring out how to actually (and properly) use my essential oils that have been collecting dust on my shelf. And today, we look into Palo Santo Essential Oils!
I have been working on replacing all of the items in my home with more natural products, and essential oils have been a huge help with that!
I’ve had the Palo Santo essential oil sitting on my shelf for MONTHS and haven’t even opened it. At first smell, it seriously smells like earthy licorice…if that can be a proper explanation! That is definitely a scent you have to get used to, but once I read all of its healthy properties, I was on board.
