When Spanish monks discovered palo santo's ability to cleanse and heal, they named the tree "palo santo," which means "holy wood." While some smudging herbs are used only to cleanse a space of negative energy, others are then used to attract positive energy afterward. Palo santo is rare because it does both at the same time. Through the process of burning, it releases the sacred wood's oils that cleanse the space and people it comes into contact with — attracting positive energy and even healing on physical and subtle levels. This increases the ability to concentrate and meditate.
Our palo santo wood originates from Peru and Ecuador. The harvest is carefully monitored by local government authorities. The trees are very rare and therefore are never cut down — the wood is gathered only from naturally fallen trees.
