Palo Santo – Single

Interesting Fact!  *To retain its special properties, the tree or branch must naturally die, then the dead tree must lay on the ground for another 3- 6 years before harvesting the wood for its “holy” properties. Palo Santo trees can live as long as 80 years and if you add another 5 years for it to dry naturally, that means it took 85 years to reach the point of using for incense!

*We are aware of the impact towards the ecosystem that logging can mean of the trees for commercial use, this is why our Palo Santo has been harvested from forest floor of fallen branches and trees that have naturally died. Our source also supports a nursery exclusively dedicated to the species for its reforestation, reproduction and study.

How to use:

• Sit in a quiet space and try to clear your mind.
• Use a candle, match or lighter to ignite your stick of Palo Santo.
• Hold at about a 45-degree angle pointing the tip down toward the flame.
• Allow it to burn for about 30 secs to 1 minute and then blow out.
• Move about your workspace, home, car, bathroom or anywhere you would like to clear the energy. The rich smell will also bring peace and clarity to the moment along with good feelings.
• When finished, place the stick in a fire proof bowl of metal, glass or clay. The glow will end on its own unless you blow on the ember which will keep the smoke going.
• Always use caution and respect when working with fire.
