Palo Santo, which means “holy wood” or “wood of the saints”, is a mystical tree that grows on the coast of South America and is related to Frankincense, Myrrh, and Copal.

Burning these sticks is a sacred practice used by Indigenous communities of the Andes to cleanse their space and ward off evil spirits. This practice is called smudging – a spiritual practice where you clear your energy fields using a piece of burning Palo Santo or a herb bundle, such as white sage.

The holy wood is part of the citrus family and has very pleasant sweet notes of pine, mint, and lemon. Perfect for the holiday season.

Healing

Palo Santo is traditionally used as a natural remedy for colds and flu, as well as symptoms of stress. It is also known to relieve asthma, headaches, anxiety, depression, and reduce inflammation. As an essential oil, it’s great for aromatherapy and can also be used during therapeutic massages. It can also be added to candles, soaps, scrubs, and body lotions to cleanse and moisturize the skin. 

Known for its calming effect, it also supports the immune and nervous systems which help with faster recovery from illness. Palo Santo tea supposedly acts as a natural digestive aid. The holy wood also contains a high concentration of a compound called d-limonene, a compound that is thought to aid in the prevention of a variety of cancers.  

Cleansing

Similar to Sage and Cedar, Palo Santo is most widely used for spiritual purification and energy (house) cleansings.  Once the wood sticks are burned, the smoke is believed to clear negative energy and restore tranquillity and calm emotions. Burning Palo Santo wood creates an uplifting, pleasant, fresh smoke that works miracles in keeping away mosquitoes and other insects.  It is said that the smell enhances creativity.

Relaxation

We enjoy burning a stick of Palo Santo before meditating as it really helps us get relaxed and connected to ourselves. The lovely earthy, sweet and citrusy smell literally changes the energy inside any room. 

Native Americans have used white sage for its medicinal properties for centuries. Sage offers antioxidants, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties to promote overall health and target emerging infections. It is also used as a diuretic and a stimulant.

Sage smudging is used to begin a spiritual spring cleaning for your soul or your house. Burning sage in your home allows you to remove all the negative energies and experiences from the room. (For best results, work on one room at a time)

• To start, open the windows and doors to provide the negative energy with an escape route.
• Light the sage smudging stick and leave it to burn until it begins to emit smoke.
• Once the cleansing smoke arrives, keep your intentions in mind and with the stick in your hand, make your way through the room, rotating clockwise as you move through the room.
• Continue until peace and love begin to fill the room while sending the negative energies away.

All unique in design and intuitively each piece is hand-picked for you.
