Palo Santo (Burserea Graveolens)

  • From the rainforests in Ecuador.
  • Considered by many to be a Holy Wood.
  • When burned, give off a warm and delicately sweet rosy-woodsy aroma.
  • Burning Palo Santo has been used by the Incas of ancient times for purifying, cleansing, and as a spiritual remedy.
  • Palo Santo is a protected resource in Ecuador and is harvested only from fallen branches and dead wood.

INSTRUCTIONS:

  • 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 flame and increase smoke by blowing on stick or moving it through air.
  • Surround yourself, others, or a space with the smoke.
  • Can be used to “scrub” an aura.
