Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Bulnesia sarmientoi, commonly known as Palo Santo (distinct from Bursera graveolens, also called Palo Santo), has been traditionally used in South American folk medicine. Its wood and oil have been employed for a variety of purposes, including as an anti-inflammatory and for the treatment of minor injuries such as wounds or bruises. The traditional use is largely based on the resinous oils present in the wood, which are believed to possess antimicrobial and healing properties. Ethnobotanical surveys from regions like the Gran Chaco in Argentina and Paraguay document its use by indigenous and rural populations for topical application to minor skin injuries, likely due to the aromatic and resinous nature of the wood. However, direct scientific validation supporting the efficacy of Bulnesia sarmientoi for treating injuries is minimal. There are limited phytochemical studies indicating the presence of bioactive compounds such as guaiol and bulnesol, which may have mild antimicrobial or anti-inflammatory properties in vitro. Nevertheless, no robust clinical trials or comprehensive pharmacological studies have confirmed significant benefit for injury treatment in humans. Therefore, the use of Bulnesia sarmientoi for injuries is primarily justified by traditional practices rather than scientific evidence, and the evidence supporting its effectiveness for this condition is weak.
