What is Palo Santo?
The Sacred Scent of the Forest: Palo Santo
Native to the South American coasts, Palo Santo (Bursera Graveolens) is a sacred tree renowned for its healing and purifying properties.
Used in shamanic rituals and spiritual healing practices for centuries, its lemon-pine aroma sets it apart from traditional incense. Unlike regular incense sticks, Palo Santo burns slowly, allowing for multiple uses while filling your space with its natural, calming fragrance.

How to Use?
To light Palo Santo, use a candle, match, or lighter, holding the tip downward. Let a small flame burn for 30 seconds to 1 minute, then gently blow it out. The smoldering wood will release its aromatic, cleansing smoke, filling your space with its natural essence.
For safety, always place the incense in a fireproof container made of metal, glass, or ceramic, and ensure it is in a secure location away from children and pets. Since Palo Santo burns slowly, you can reuse the same stick multiple times, making it a long-lasting and sustainable incense choice.
As the smoke rises, allow its purifying energy to clear negativity and bring peace and balance into your surroundings. You can use Palo Santo to enhance meditation, deepen spiritual rituals, and create a relaxing ambiance for massage or energy work.
