Description
Grown wild in the Gran Chaco jungles of western Paraguay, guaiacwood is known locally as ‘Palo Santo’ (holy tree) for its supposedly extensive healing powers. It ranks among the heaviest and hardest of woods known to man. As a slow growing tree, the harvest is closely regulated to ensure long term sustainability. Our wood is cut into chips and steam distilled at source.
