Peruvian PALO SANTO (SINGLE STICK)
Approximately 10cm long (each stick is of varying thickness and weight) *Sustainably sourced.
Palo santo ("holy wood") is a tree that inhabits Central and South America. The tree belongs to the same family as frankincense and myrrh. It is widely used in folk medicine by indigenous shaman to cure many diseases; this is the reason why the Spanish settlers called the tree “Santo". Palo Santo is burned to cleanse and purify a space and to fill it with good energy.
The mystical and sacred properties of Palo Santo are created through an alchemical process which begins as soon as the tree or branch dies only by natural causes. Then, it has to lay down for 10 more years before it is processed otherwise its medicinal, aromatic and healing properties aren't developed.
This Palo Santo wood was harvested sustainably from a tree that died naturally and a new tree was planted in its place. The wood was harvested and cut by hand.

How to Light Palo Santo
Light the tip till it has caught the flame, then waft the flame out, like a usual incense stick and let it smoke as it gently burns down. Light it again if it goes out.
Meditation
Burn up 1 stick in the incense burner, or by walking around the room and allow the scent to cleanse your home before meditation to purify the energy in the room.
Space Clearing
To clear stuck, heavy or bad energy in home, light up a stick, hold it with your hand and walk around the area you want to remove the bad energy from.
