6 sticks sustainably harvested in Ecuador.
Palo Santo, meaning ‘holy stick’ in Spanish, can be used to cleanse the energy in any room with its distinctive, intensely uplifting aroma, containing sweet, warming notes of citrus, pine and mint. Burning palo santo sticks helps to cleanse and purify the space and brings calm and mental clarity. It is a great way to prepare for meditative practice, thanks to the emotionally balancing and grounding effect of the vapours.
Palo santo sticks are made from branches that have been respectfully harvested from the sacred and beautifully fragrant Palo Santo tree, or Bursera graveolens, which belongs to the same botanical family as frankincense and myrrh. This tree grows naturally throughout Central and South America, and it has been worshipped there as a sacred plant for millennia, for its purifying and healing powers.
It is widely used in the region in ceremonies and rituals to promote healing and purification. It is also used in traditional herbal medicine to soothe inflammation . There is also a growing body of scientific evidence demonstrating the antimicrobial, anti-tumour and anti-mosquito properties of the essential oil contained in the bark.
Our palo santo sticks are sustainably harvested from Palo santo trees in Ecuador. They are collected in projects implemented by local communities to preserve their traditional livelihoods and protect the Amazon rainforest.
Choose a stick of palo santo wood from your bundle and hold one end of the stick over a flame until it begins to burn. Stay a few moments with the flame as it grows. Rattle the stick gently in a back-and-forth motion and let the cleansing smoke rise through the air. If the smoke shrinks, blow a little until the ember regains its deepest glow.
You can use palo santo wood to cleanse your space with a lit stick in your hands, moving the smoke around until its restful scent fills the room.
Cautions
Take care when lighting the stick with a flame and ensure no flammable objects are anywhere close to you. Keep out of reach of children.
