Palo Santo, Osteoporosis and RSD
I knew that Palo Santo essential oil is great for bone regeneration, but I didn't know it helps osteoporosis and bone mineral density (BMD). As everyone knows, osteoporosis leads to an increased risk of fracture. Until recently, I wasn't aware how much Palo Santo essential oil can help it.
Recently a friend with osteoporosis in her spine and pelvis told me she had broken her wrist seven years ago and it did not heal right. Because of that, she developed RSD (reflex sympathetic dystrophy). She started applying Palo Santo on it daily, and as an afterthought, on her spine and pelvis as well.
When she applied Palo Santo to her wrist it felt good, as if the bones were finally healing. Indeed they were – her wrist gradually improved and kept getting better.
Three months later, she was given a bone density scan. The scan showed a 2.5% improvement in spinal bone density and a 3.3% improvement in her left femur. This is significant improvement and her doctor was amazed.

What is the ingredients in Palo Santo?

Anna,
Palo Santo is an essential oil single, meaning it is not blended with any other oil. The bottle only contains oil that comes from the wood of the aromatic Palo Santo tree in South America. It's botanical name is bursera graveolens and it is closely related to frankincense.
Palo Santo oil contains high levels of limonene, a monoterpene compound that has been found to have chemo-preventive and chemo-therapeutic effects against several types of cancer. It is also rich in sesquiterpenes, monoterpenes and alpha-pinene.
This is probably why it has been used in South America for so long as an antiseptic, to help with healing wounds, sprains and other injuries, clear negative energy and bring good fortune.

Pat,
There's no way I can know if Palo Santo can help any specific person. Palo Santo has been used for centuries in South America for to help with healing wounds, sprains and other injuries. The sesquiterpenes and monoterpenes and other constituents in it tend to stimulate healing and balance in the body.
I love the oil myself. It really helps the herniated disks in back feel better and it smells wonderful!
The only way to know is to try it and see.
