Botanical Name: Bursera graveolens
Meaning: Holy Wood
Palo Santo is a sacred wood incense that has been revered for centuries by the indigenous peoples of South America for both space cleansing and spiritual balance. Its naturally sweet, woody aroma with soft citrus notes helps clear the mind and gently open the heart.
It is commonly used in spiritual practices, intention-setting rituals, meditation, and yoga. The smoke is believed to purify not only the space, but also the emotional and energetic field.
How to Use
Light the tip of the Palo Santo stick using a lighter or candle.
Let it burn for a few seconds, then gently blow out the flame.
Allow the aromatic smoke to flow through your space.
When finished, extinguish the stick and place it on a heat-resistant surface to cool.
