Palo Santo wood is highly prized for its unique essential oil, which is only produced by the tree once it starts to die. The oil is extracted from the heartwood after the tree has fallen and been lying on the forest floor for several years. The tree's natural defence mechanism against insects and disease involves producing a resin rich in limonene, an insecticide and antifungal compound. As the tree dies, the resin concentrates in the heartwood, developing the aromatic properties of the oil. Extracting the oil through steam distillation is a time-consuming and labour-intensive process, adding to its value. Since Palo Santo trees are endangered, sourcing the oil sustainably and ethically is crucial. The essential oil is used for various purposes, such as insect repellent, respiratory health, calming nerves and spiritual practices like energy cleansing and connecting with spirit realms. There are many ways to utilise Palo Santo oil benefits for the body, head, heart and spirit, but the mainstay of this video is about the essential oil’s benefits for spiritual and soul work.

Helichrysum is a beautiful plant, with its golden flowers, also known as immortelle or everlasting. It is renowned for its ability to retain its shape, colour and form even after being picked. This remarkable quality is reflected in the energy of its essential oil, which brings a sense of immortality. If you are using essential oils for manifestation and desire long-lasting effects, such as in a long-term relationship or a thriving company, then Helichrysum is an excellent oil to include in your visualisations and practices. Today, we will discuss how to use Helichrysum essential oil for the mind, body, and spirit. One aspect that makes this oil so interesting is that the chemical composition of Helichrysum can vary depending on where it is grown. Therefore, the methods of using this oil oil may differ if it was grown in Slovenia compared to Corsica.

Pineapple Myrtle is a newly discovered essential oil gifted from a relative of Lemon Tea Tree and is found naturally only in a few hectares of lowland or floodplain country, in northern New South Wales. The tree is extremely rare and grows to a maximum height of 10 metres in the wild. High and regular rainfall with rocky and alluvial soils are its prime habitat. When the leaves are steam distilled we are gifted an essential oil with an uplifting lemony (similar to Lemon Myrtle) aroma, followed by pineapple, banana, fruit salad, citrus, then a gentle floral aroma. This essential oil makes people feel instantly happy, uplifted, refreshed. It can assist concentration, lift the mood, remove bad room smells and negative energy. It also helps calms noisy children. This oil is now available thanks to Greg Trevena of Essentially Australia who has spent eight years testing, researching, propagating, harvesting and distilling this unique essential oil.
