Palo santo is a sacred tree native to South America. Indigenous Latin American cultures have used its wood in traditional healing and spiritual ceremonies for centuries. A cousin of both frankincense and myrrh, palo santo literally means "holy wood," and it's a fitting name given its past. When it burns, the aromatic wood releases lemon, mint, and pine notes—an invigorating, grounding fragrance that is believed to have a number of benefits. Palo Santo is available in its natural form as a solid wood or as an essential oil. All Palo Santo wood can only be harvested after it has naturally fallen and left to dry for some time. Resin in the wood, which gives Palo Santo it's unique scent, eventually solidifies and the scent matures. 

Burning Palo Santo during rituals, meditation or body work can really help in setting the space for growth and healing. We love pairing our Palo Santo with our Chakra Cleansing meditation series. Don't forget to download your complimentary chakra meditation!
