Palo Santo Smudge Stick

Palo Santo, or “holy wood,” carries a rich spiritual history that traces back to the Incan era, where it was used in sacred rituals throughout Amazonia. This humble tree, native to the dry forests of Ecuador, Peru, and Mexico, may not seem remarkable at first glance, but its essence is rare and powerful. Revered by Spanish monks who called it “palo santo” or “wood of the saints,” it has long been believed to carry a spirit that, even after the tree falls, continues to guide and heal.

Used by shamans for centuries to clear negative energy, ease stress, and treat physical ailments like colds and headaches, Palo Santo’s smoke creates a calming, uplifting atmosphere. It is said to ward off dark energies, restore peace, and ground us to the earth. When burned, it helps deepen meditation and raises your vibration, connecting you to the present moment and the natural world.

Traditionally linked to the Root Chakra, Palo Santo enhances courage, self-preservation, and grounding.
