Palo santo, meaning "holy wood," is an aromatic tree of South America whose wood has been burned for centuries by Indigenous peoples for cleansing, blessing, and restoring calm. Its warm, sweet, resinous and lightly citrusy smoke is reached for to clear heavy or stale energy, settle a space, and invite a soft, grounded peace. This Escential Essences stick captures that palo santo character in a hand-dipped, easy-to-burn form, a convenient way to bring the scent to everyday cleansing and meditation. The incense does not act on its own; it clears and calms the air and helps you settle into your own intention. Light it to gently cleanse a space and open the way for quiet, reflective work.

1. Light the tip. Hold a flame to the coated end until it catches, then gently blow it out so the tip glows and releases a steady ribbon of smoke.
2. Set it in a holder. Rest the plain end in an incense burner or ash catcher on a heat-safe surface that will catch the falling ash.
3. Set your intention. As the scent fills the room, name what you are clearing and the calm you want in its place.
4. Burn it safely. Burn in a ventilated space away from anything flammable, keep it clear of curtains and drafts, and never leave burning incense unattended.
