After a brief hiatus, we reintroduced our Palo Santo collection in 2023, bringing back some of our most-loved products and adding something new. Our Palo Santo Candle remains one of our most requested scents, and this time, we launched our first-ever Palo Santo Diffuser Oil to complement it. Of course, the collection wouldn't be complete without our Palo Santo wood bundles, our handcrafted Palo Santo incense sticks made from 100% natural wood, and our newest addition—the Palo Santo Floral Herb Sage Smudge Bundle.
What is Palo Santo?
Palo Santo, or "Holy Wood," is a mystical tree native to the South American coast, revered for its cleansing and healing properties. Similar to sage and cedar, it has been used for centuries in indigenous Central and Latin American cultures as part of spiritual and energetic purification rituals. Traditionally, Palo Santo is burned to ground energies, remove negativity, and invite positive vibrations. Many believe it enhances creativity, relieves stress, and promotes emotional clarity.
Where Does Palo Santo Come From?
Our Palo Santo products are sourced directly from a sustainable harvester and distiller in Peru. We take pride in offering only the highest quality Palo Santo essential oil, which is 100% natural, fair trade, and ethically harvested through sustainable practices. The Palo Santo wood used in our incense sticks and smudge bundles is obtained from naturally dried and fallen trees and is certified by SERFOR (Peru’s National Forest and Wildlife Service), ensuring that it is ethically and responsibly sourced.
How to Burn Palo Santo
To use Palo Santo for smudging, light one end of the wood stick and let it burn for about 30 seconds before gently blowing out the flame. Allow the fragrant smoke to waft through your space, clearing stagnant energy and inviting positive vibes. If you're using our Palo Santo incense sticks, simply light the end and let it smolder in a fireproof holder. You can create your own ritual with Palo Santo in the morning to set the tone for the day or in the evening to unwind and release stress.
When to Cleanse with Palo Santo
You can use Palo Santo anytime you feel the need for energetic cleansing or grounding. Some common moments to burn Palo Santo might include:
-
After a stressful day or argument
-
Before meditation or yoga
-
When moving into a new space
-
During your spiritual practices or rituals
-
To refresh and cleanse your home
Palo Santo with Sage: A Powerful Pair
For a deeper cleansing ritual, many people combine Palo Santo with white sage. While sage is known for its strong purifying properties - clearing or resetting all energy - Palo Santo is believed to invite positivity after purification. Our Palo Santo Floral Herb Sage Smudge Bundle combines these two sacred plants, along with florals, for an enhanced energy-clearing experience.
Why Choose Our Palo Santo?
Our Palo Santo essential oil is exceptionally high quality, thanks to a meticulous steam distillation process. This method uses heat and water to extract the purest oil from Palo Santo wood, preserving its rich, natural aroma. To experience its cleansing benefits, simply add 5-10 drops of our Palo Santo Essential Diffuser Oil to your ultrasonic diffuser and enjoy its purifying essence.
Each product in our Palo Santo collection serves a common purpose - relieving stress, reviving energy, and promoting emotional well-being. Whether you're drawn to the calming smoke of the wood, the convenience of incense sticks, or the transformative power of our diffuser oil, Palo Santo is a beautiful way to bring balance, creativity, and positivity into your life.
If you love woodsy, grounding aromas with an uplifting energy, this is a scent you’ll adore!
