Palo Santo Wood

Palo Santo means holy wood, the wood comes from the holy tree called Bursera Graveolens. Did you know that Palo Santo wood cannot be collected just like that, it is strictly supervised. And for every kilo of wood sold, a new tree is planted.

Burning palo santo is an age-old tradition. Perhaps the most famous ritual is ayahuasca, in which a tea made from plants from the tropical forests of the South American continent provides a spiritual purification of body, mind and soul. When Palo Santo is burned, a slightly sweet, warm scent is released.

Palo Santo not only has a positive, calming effect on the mind, but is also said to have many physical applications. If you suffer from colds, flu, stress headaches or anxiety, Palo Santo can be very helpful. Animals also experience a sense of calm when they smell it.

How do I burn Palo Santo (also called holy wood)?

Take a piece of wood and hold a match or lighter at the end until it starts to burn. Let the wood burn until you see the core glowing and then blow out the flame. Place the wood in a fireproof bowl or in a beautiful shell. With the smoke, the smell of Palo Santo will spread through the room. You can also walk through a room yourself and spread the wonderful smell.

In addition to cleaning your home with Palo Santo, you can also do this with Sage. White sage is a dried herb. You light the dry leaf and then let it smoulder in a fireproof dish.

What is the best way to get started with Sage.

When cleansing your home with smoke, it is best to work from the bottom up, because smoke rises. Go through all the rooms and do not forget the corners of the rooms where negative energies can be trapped. IMPORTANT! Open your windows and doors during the cleansing process so that all negative energies can easily find their way out. Then work in the direction of an open window or door. Make powerful, sweeping movements with your hands. This brings stagnant energies into flow with flowing movements and shakes up stuck energies.

How can you cleanse and charge your gemstones?
