Palo Santo Smudging Sticks for Ritual Use

Coastal areas of South America are home to an enchanting tree known as Palo Santo, which literally translates to "Holy Wood." Traditionally, shamans and healers have utilized Palo Santo for its energetic purification and healing attributes, much like sage. When burned, it produces an enriching aroma that can increase one's personal vibration during meditative therapy, fostering a more profound connection to one's being. Palo Santo is a perfect choice for smudging, a technique used to create a cleansing smoke bath.

Unlike traditional incense, Palo Santo will hold an ember for a little while before needing to be re-lit. The unique aroma of Palo Santo when burned can help deepen the spiritual moments of meditation and contemplation.

Our Palo Santo sticks are sourced from trees that have undergone a natural decomposition process. During this process, the tree is compressed, and its oil is secreted, acquiring the medicinal and aromatic properties that make Palo Santo so sought after. The tree remains uncollected for three to four years, and cutting a Palo Santo tree without the decomposition process will not result in the same benefits.

Palo Santo was primarily used by Peruvian shamans in their religious and spiritual rituals, serving as a tool to bring good luck, ward off any signs of negativity, and enhance the connection to the spiritual realm.

As a Fair Trade-focused company, we ensure that all of our Palo Santo is obtained through fair business practices for the workers in South America, as well as for the environment. Each package contains 8 sticks of sustainably harvested Palo Santo, each approximately 10 cm or 4 inches in length, and is packaged in 100% recyclable packaging.
