Palo Santo: Connecting to Ritual and the World

Palo Santo (Bursera Graveolens/Holy Wood) is a fragrant South American incense wood that has been traditionally used for therapeutic, physical, and energy healing purposes. When burned, it produces aromatic smoke that helps purify the air, inspire creativity, and cleanse energy with its pleasant, woody, and enriching scent.

To use Palo Santo, begin by planting your feet on the floor and dropping your gaze. With a Palo Santo stick in hand, tap into the history of this sacred wood, honoring its origins in spiritual ceremonies and cleansing practices. This deepens your connection to ritual and the world around you.

Next, open your eyes and, with the flick of your lighter, ignite the end of the Palo Santo stick until a small flame appears. Let it burn for 10-20 seconds, then blow it out, allowing the smoke to remain. Use the aromatic smoke to cleanse your space by gently painting the air. Once the smoke subsides, which typically takes about a minute, you can relight the Palo Santo as needed.

Each Palo Santo stick can be relit several dozen times, and the ash can be sprinkled on top of plant-soil as a natural nutrient boost. Remember to always exercise caution when burning any flame or lit item.

Sustainable and Restorative

At Bursera, we are committed to sustainable and ethical practices. We only source Palo Santo from trees that have died naturally and have been resting on the forest floor for several years. This ensures that no living trees are ever cut down, helping to preserve the Palo Santo population and resulting in the potent, effective, and premium quality of our products.

Moreover, as a core part of our mission, we strive to regenerate the planet's forests one tree at a time. With every Bursera order, we plant a tree, contributing to the restoration of the natural environment.

Rooted in Tradition, Embracing Modernity

Bursera is focused on taking traditional products that have become popular through time and bringing them into the modern world, all while giving back to the planet and leaving it better than we found it.

As a carbon-neutral company, we prioritize minimizing our environmental impact. Our Palo Santo products are sourced sustainably and ethically, and our packaging is made from post-consumer material and is recyclable.

Elevate your space and connect with the natural world by welcoming Palo Santo, the mystical South American incense wood, into your home.
