Palo Santo is called "Holy Wood" and used by the indigenous peoples of the Andes for centuries for protection, purification, luck, and pain relief. It's heavenly scent is uplifting and healing. The botanical name for Palo Santo is Burseara graveolens, the frankincense tree is a very close relative. Our source for this product sustainably harvests in Ecuador.

It is a valuable tree, protected by the government of Ecuador, which has strict requirements for harvesting.
Palo Santo may be re-lit many times. Light the end of a stick, allow the wood to burn for less than a minute, then blow the flame out. Pass the smoky stick over your body, objects, or the room you are in for a healing energetic smudging, or simply to enjoy the beautiful fragrance! Lovers of herbal smudges and incense will welcome Palo Santo to their rituals and energetic practices.Smoke cleansing with herbs and resins is a tradition as old as time, utilized by peoples of most spiritual and religious traditions. Many herbs and resins have individual healing properties, known to our ancient ancestors, and used and appreciated in modern times, as well. Smudge with herbs to purify, clear, calm and neutralize chaotic or unwanted energies.
To smudge yourself or another, direct herbal smoke with a feather toward the heart first, then over the head, down the arms and the front of the body. To smudge a home, open windows if possible to allow the room to clear. Walk room to room wafting smoke as you go, say a personal blessing if needed. For objects, waft smoke over object or pass object through the smoke (if small). *It is always recommended to protect your burning bowl with a bed of sand or ash, as it can get rather hot if using a charcoal to burn incense.
Smoke cleansing is a recommended and welcome practice on a frequent basis to clear negative or stagnant energy, clear energies from your body and mind after work, and to purify the air during and after illnesses of all kinds. Also a wonderful tool to cleanse new items entering your home, or after visitors exit, to neutralize and charge the air with positive energy. Smudging can, and should, be done during ritual of any tradition, to create sacred space, and charge ritual tools.
From our home in the foothills of North Carolina to yours...happy smudging for your health and well-being.
