What is Palo Santo: From one of the world's last remaining tropical dry forests, Palo Santo wood is used as a natural incense and smudge stick. It has been traditionally used by the indigenous peoples of Peru and Ecuador and Andean Shaman since the time of the Inca

The Palo Santo tree (Bursera Graveolen) belongs to the same fragrant tree genus as Frankincense and Myrrh. Palo Santo or Holy Wood is one of the most aromatic woods in the world

After a Palo Santo tree dies, or a limb falls the wood begins an alchemical process. It is a very hard wood. The tree must be left undisturbed on the forest floor for several years, allowing the wood's very dense matrix to begin softening and releasing its fragrant oils. With time, the oils and aromatic compounds become stronger and more refined

Quite extraordinarily, the wood's aromatic oils will not mature in limbs cut from a tree or if the tree is felled

Palo Santo Benefits: Transformation and metamorphosis! Palo Santo is about letting go and discovering what lies beyond the seen. It teaches us respect, patience and surrender
