Palo Santo means "Holy Wood" and is a great energy cleanser. When burned, Palo Santo has similar cleansing and healing properties as Sage and Cedar. It can also help to raise your vibration, repel insects, bring good luck, and prepare you for meditation and spiritual practices. 
 
This Palo Santo has been sustainably harvested in Ecuador from trees that have died of natural causes. The tree is left untouched for three to four years before being collected. This natural decaying process ensures that the wood maintains the trees powerful spiritual, medicinal, and aromatic properties.
 
Smudging is an indigenous practice used to purify and cleanse energy. Typically, smudging is done by using the smoke from a bundle of dried herbs, such as sage, lavender, or rosemary. Palo Santo, tree resins, and tobacco can also be used for this practice. The smoke harnesses the purifying properties of fire and helps to carry away any intrusive or toxic energy from your home and body.
