Palo Santo sticks are aromatic sticks made from the "holy wood" of the Bursera graveolens tree, native to South America, and are used for spiritual cleansing and aromatherapy. When burned, they produce a sweet, fragrant smoke with notes of vanilla, mint, and citrus that is believed to clear negative energy and promote a sense of calm, relaxation, and spiritual balance. The wood is harvested from fallen branches and is often used before meditation or yoga to aid focus and create a serene environment.

Characteristics and use

Aroma: The wood has a distinct, sweet, and woody scent with hints of vanilla, mint, and citrus. It can be fragrant even when unlit.

Traditional use: Its use dates back to the Incas and it has been traditionally employed in ceremonies for spiritual purification, to ward off evil spirits, and to combat misfortune.

Modern use: Today, Palo Santo is often used for modern meditation, yoga, and aromatherapy to create a calming atmosphere, reduce stress, and encourage focus. It is believed to promote inner harmony and positive energy.

How to use: To burn, hold one end of the stick over a flame until it ignites, then shake it to extinguish the flame, leaving a smoldering ember that will release its fragrant smoke.

Sustainability: Ethically sourced Palo Santo is harvested from naturally fallen branches that have been allowed to cure for several years, ensuring the living trees are not cut.

Key differences from sage

Sage is primarily used to clear negative energy from a space.
