Natural Holy Wood Palo Santo
Palo Santo, also known as holy wood, is the dried wood of the Bursera graveolens tree, growing under harsh conditions in Peru and South America. The wood is resin-rich with a unique sweet scent, slightly reminiscent of coconut, making it one of the most cherished aromatic woods. Traditionally, Palo Santo has been valued as a spiritual and meditation aid, similar to sandalwood in Asia.

Traditional Use
Palo Santo has been used for thousands of years for medicinal, shamanic, and spiritual purposes. Indigenous people of South America believe it repels negative forces and attracts positive energies. It is also used to purify air, similar to sage, and for rituals and meditation.
Sustainability and Ethical Harvesting
The Palo Santo wood comes from naturally fallen trees that have aged 3–4 years before use. This method of harvesting does not harm nature and ensures a rich, aromatic scent.
