🪵🪵Palo Santo Sticks

Bursera graveolens, known in Spanish as Palo Santo, is a wild tree native to coastal South America. Belonging to the same family as copal, myrrh and frankincense, Palo Santo literally translates to “Holy Wood”. It was renowned among Incan cultures and is now traditionally used by present-day shamans and healers for its purification attributes. When burned, the smoke is believed to provide medicinal and therapeutic healing energies, giving you a more profound connection to your being.
Palo Santo wood can only be harvested after it has naturally fallen and left to dry for some time. I source this Palo Santo from Equador where they responsibly harvest the wood from Palo Santo trees and distill Palo Santo essential oil in a way that promotes the sustainability and reforestation of the tree itself. This ultimately respects the sanctity of the wood and allows for its continued growth. Blessed Be that community for all generations Asé 💫🙌🏿 ~LS
