PALO SANTO SMUDGE STICK

Palo Santo Sticks

Palo Santo means ‘holy wood’ or ‘holy stick’ in Spanish. It is also known as The Wood of the Saints. This sacred tree only grows in a few parts of South America. When burned, it releases a unique aroma that can help deepen spiritual moments of meditation and contemplation. It was mainly used by Peruvian shamans in their religious and spiritual rituals as a tool to bring good luck, ward off any signs of negativity and as a means of getting a better spiritual connection.

Benefits:

• Cleanses and purifies

• Protects against negativity

• Brings forth feelings of centeredness, love and connection

• Calms anxiety, stress and reduces insomnia

• Inspires creativity

• Strengthens immune system

• Repels insects

  Extra large pieces are extra resinous because the essential oils are more concentrated.

How to use:

First set an intention, then light the end for 15-20 seconds (always stay at one end and let it burn through over time). After a short time once the wood catches fire, shake out the flames and walk around the house or area you wish to effect (this is called smudging), and repeat your wish or intention whilst letting the smoke and divine smell spread. You will soon feel it will become part of your daily routine.
