The Spiritual Significance

Palo santo means holy wood, and the tree, Bursera graveolens, has been burned for cleansing and clearing across parts of South America for generations. Its smoke freshens a room, lifts a heavy mood, and marks the start of focused work. Here it is paired with white copal, a pale tree resin burned across Mexico and Central America since pre-Columbian times for purification, offering, and prayer. Two of the Americas' great cleansing materials meet in one stick, making a clean, bright, purifying smoke.

Because both palo santo and copal come from trees that can be over-harvested, the kindest version of this practice uses materials that were responsibly and sustainably gathered, and burned with intention rather than waste.

How To Use

1. Set a heat-safe dish or incense holder ready, and work in a ventilated space away from curtains, paper, and anything else that can catch.
2. Light the dipped tip, let the flame take for a few seconds, then gently blow it out so the stick glows and smolders.
3. Carry the smoking stick around your space or yourself, holding your intention for purification and a clear start.
4. Rest the stick in the holder to burn down, or press it out in sand when you are finished. Never leave a burning stick unattended.
5. Make sure it is fully extinguished before you leave the room, and keep it out of reach of children and pets.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are palo santo dip sticks?

They are palo santo wood sticks dipped in fragrance, with a self-igniting coating on the tip. They burn like incense and differ from raw palo santo by their added scent and how easily they light, no charcoal or long flame-holding required.

What does white copal smell like?

Clean, fresh, and lightly piney, with a soft resinous sweetness over palo santo's wood smoke. Brighter and crisper than darker resins like dragon's blood.

What is copal?

Copal is a pale tree resin burned across Mexico and Central America since pre-Columbian times for purification, offering, and prayer. Here its scent is carried in the dip rather than the raw resin.

Is the palo santo sustainably sourced?

Palo santo is best gathered from naturally fallen, aged wood, and the tree is protected in some regions. We encourage choosing responsibly sourced wood and burning it mindfully so the tradition can continue.

How do I light and care for them?

Light the tip, let it flame a moment, then blow it out to smolder in a heat-safe holder, and never leave it unattended. Store the set somewhere dry to keep the scent fresh between uses.
