Palo Santo

What is Palo Santo?

Palo Santo is a type of wood extracted from the tree Bursera graveolens. The wood is processed into oils or incense. Bursera graveolens is found in South America, such as Peru, Venezuela and Mexico, and is mainly found in coastal and mountainous areas. Sacred Wood is a sustainable wood species, which is strictly monitored. Palo Santo is collected from fallen trees and broken branches. In short, no trees are cut down for it. Once the wood is collected, it is left to mature for a minimum of four and a maximum of ten years. This creates the distinctive, calming fragrance, which is experienced as both sweet and warm.

Origins of the Sacred Wood

Palo Santo has been around for centuries. In the past, the wood was mainly used among the indigenous people of South America. It was used in rituals and spiritual events of, for example, the Incas. Shamans used the wood in healing and purification rituals, for instance. This is because the sweet scent creates a stronger vibration in the air, which in turn would facilitate a meditative state and could drive away evil spirits.
