The Spiritual Significance

Palo santo, whose name means holy wood, comes from the dry forests of South America, where it has long been burned in cleansing and ceremonial practice to clear heavy or stagnant energy, ground the body, and lift the spirit. Its sweet, woody, faintly citrus smoke is reached for to purify a space, settle the mind before meditation, and invite a calm, bright atmosphere. Palo santo is best gathered from naturally fallen wood, and the tree is protected in some regions; please choose responsibly sourced wood and burn it mindfully. The incense does not act on its own; it clears and brightens the air and helps you settle into your own intention. Light a stick to cleanse and uplift a space or to ground before practice.

How To Use

1. Light the tip. Hold a flame to the coated tip 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 holder or ash catcher on a heat-safe surface that will catch the falling ash.
3. Cleanse and uplift. Let the warm, woody scent fill the room as you name the clearing or grounding you are inviting.
4. Burn it safely. Burn in a ventilated space away from anything flammable, keep it clear of drafts, and never leave burning incense unattended.
