Palo santo means "holy wood" in Spanish. Its sweet, warming smoke is associated with blessings, protection and lifting heavy energy. Light the tip of a stick, let it burn for a moment, blow it out, and let the smoke drift through a room.
Choose palo santo from fallen, naturally aged wood, from a supplier who can say where it comes from.
Safety: Burn it in a fireproof dish with a window open, and never leave it unattended. Keep dried herbs, resins and smoke away from pets, especially cats and birds.
