Palo Santo is a cleansing, protective wood that has been used by many different cultures for a very long time. It is considered a holy wood and is a protected resourse in Ecuador meaning that it is only harvested from fallen branches and dead wood. To use, Light for a few seconds, or until it begins to cherry. Leaving Palo Santo on fire and longer than necessary to produce a cherry will degrade the quality of the smoke. Blow out the flame and increase smoke by blowing on the stick or moving it through the air. Surround yourself, others, or a space with the smoke to cleanse or to “scrub” an aura.
