Palo Santo
by Made In Peru
Palo Santo has been used for more than a thousand years in shamanic ceremonies, healing and prayer. The smell affects the brain and uplifts the spirit. Shamans use it due to its metaphysical qualities as it clears negativity and bad energy in homes, our surroundings and our physical bodies. It can also be used to repel insects, especially mosquitos.
The live trees are never cut down. Only the fallen tree and branches can be used. They must remain on the ground for 4-10 years to allow for the saps transformation into crystals to form within the branches giving it its golden colour and heavenly scent. Our palo santo is sustainably grown and ethically harvested according to the Peruvian government regulations.
*Each $250 bundle is approximately 167-169 grams. It can contain 2-5 sticks ranging from 3-8cm in width and 10-18cm in length.
**Unlike stick incense, palo santo can be burnt over and over again.
