Description:
Palo Santo, which means “holy wood” is a tree with many benefits that grows in the Dry Tropical Forests of South America, primarily Ecuador and Peru.
This holy wood is part of the citrus family and has very pleasant sweet notes of pine, mint, and lemon.
It’s considered a deeply sacred and spiritual tree which possesses a cleansing energy and healing properties similar to Sage and Cedar.
It can be used for purifying your home or office, cleansing your crystals, and in preparation for meditation. Palo Santo is said to enhance creativity and bring good fortune to those who are open to its wondrous ways. The smell is so fresh and beautiful, and can be added to traditional air fresheners and diffusers.
Directions:
Cleansing the Home:
Take one stick and light it with a candle, match or lighter.
Allow the Palo Santo stick to burn for 30 seconds to a minute, then carefully blow it out.
Move around the space in which you wish to clear the energy – be it your bedroom, office, car or your entire home – allowing the smoke to waft around each area.
A rich smell will fill the air, bringing peace and clarity to the moment.
Once you feel you have cleansed your space, place the Palo Santo stick in a fireproof bowl and allow the embers to burn out.
Remember to always exercise care and caution when working with fire.
