In our fast-paced and hectic lives, mindfulness often takes a backseat, leaving us feeling hurried and disconnected at times. Whether you’re juggling a demanding career, college classes, or the busy schedule of your school-age kids, the demands of daily life can easily overwhelm us.
It is little wonder that mindfulness feels foreign to many of us amidst the busyness, causing one to yearn for a sense of stillness.
I’ve learned that the absence of mindfulness can leave us feeling detached, restless, and seeking a deeper connection with the present. That’s where the power of essential oils comes in.
Meet Palo Santo essential oil, extracted from the Bursera graveolens tree native to South America. With its grounding and soothing properties, Palo Santo has been used for centuries to encourage meditation, enhance focus, and create a sacred space for self-reflection. And it only becomes more apparent when you translate the Spanish word Palo Santo to “holy wood” or “sacred tree.”
What does Palo Santo smell like? Belonging to the woodland and exotic aroma categories, Palo Santo has a distinctive and captivating scent. Its aroma is characterized by a somewhat sweet and woody scent with delicate hints of mint and citrus.
So, let’s embrace the transformative power of Palo Santo essential oil with a collection of captivating diffuser recipes. Each is designed to awaken your senses and help you reap the rewards of mindfulness. From grounding and centering combinations to uplifting and inspiring aromas, these carefully crafted Palo Santo blends will help you uncover the practice of mindfulness like never before!

What Essential Oils Pair With Palo Santo?
Palo Santo blends well with a variety of essential oils to create thought-provoking pairings. When blended with notes of cedarwood or the rich and resinous aroma of frankincense, you can achieve quite the grounding and earthy combo!

Diffusing Palo Santo Essential Oils Blends
The best way to let the captivating aroma of Palo Santo wash over you is by diffusing. If you’re new to diffusing essential oils, you’ll be delighted to know it’s very simple. All you need is one of these diffuser methods to soak in the Palo Santo benefits of mindfulness.
Ultrasonic Diffuser
These popular devices use water and ultrasonic vibrations to disperse essential oils into the air as a fine mist. Take a look at my favorite essential oil diffusers:
Reed Diffuser
Create a reed diffuser by combining essential oils with a carrier oil, such as sweet almond oil, and placing reed sticks into the mixture. The reeds will absorb the oil and gradually release the scent into the room. Try this DIY reed diffuser tutorial to add a touch of elegance to your space.
Terracotta Diffuser Stones
Craft your own diffuser stones using terracotta clay. These porous stones absorb essential oils and release their fragrance slowly over time. Check out this tutorial for handmade terracotta diffuser stones to infuse your environment with natural scents.
Essential Oil Tea Light Diffuser
These diffusers often come in decorative designs and use a heat source, such as a tea light candle (I make my own), to gently warm the essential oils and disperse their aroma throughout the room.
Experiment with different techniques to find the perfect way to diffuse essential oils for you, creating a blissful ambiance in your surroundings. Whether it’s the ease and versatility of ultrasonic oil diffusers, the elegance of reed diffusers, the creativity of handmade terracotta stones, or another option – you’ll be able to soak up all the palo santo essential oil benefits.

Where’s The Best Place To Put A Diffuser?
When looking for the best place to put a diffuser, first and foremost, choose a location where the diffuser can be safely placed and easily accessed for daily use. Consider the room size, use of an outlet, and the purpose of the diffuser in that space.
Tips for choosing the best location for your diffuser:
- Look for a location with good airflow to help disperse the aroma throughout the room.
- Place a diffuser on a flat, stable surface away from the reach of children and pets.
- Choose a location within reach of an electrical outlet so you don’t have to worry about tripping over cords. And if you have a space that doesn’t have an outlet for an electric diffuser, another option is to make a DIY reed diffuser or terracotta clay diffuser stones to use essential oil blends.
- Always think about the purpose of the diffuser; for example, if you’re using it to encourage focus, you may want to place it in your study or office.
- Consider the ease of essential oil storage and how you want to set up your diffusing station.
- Experiment with different locations, like your bathroom vanity or living room console, to find the one that best suits your needs and preferences.
By considering these factors and trying different locations, you will find the best spot for your diffuser. And, in turn, you’ll create the perfect atmosphere to reap the benefits of aromatherapy with the grounding properties of Palo Santo essential oil!
