Palo Santo Incense Sticks

100% sustainable Palo Santo Sticks (BURSERA GRAVEOLENS)

Raw sticks collected from dead, naturally fallen trees. PLEASE NOTE, these do not burn continuously like regular incense sticks. They are unique and burn for a short period of time. You relight them as you go. When burned the wood offers a pleasant uplifting smoke with a smell of citrus and mint. About 7 – 10 Sticks in a pack. Sustainably & Ethically harvested from Ecuador. Again, sticks will not stay lit like traditional incense. They will go out after a short time as they are meant to be burnt in small increments. Enjoy!

Palo Santo is a tree with many benefits that grows in the Dry Tropical Forests of South America, primarily Ecuador and Peru. It belongs to the same plant family that gives us frankincense, myrrh, and copal.

Palo Santo incense smoke and essential oils yield sweet notes of pine, mint, and lemon. The people of the source region have long revered Palo Santo for its many benefits and healing properties.

Ceremonial Benefits of Palo Santo

Aromatherapy uses botanicals to foster a sense of safety and protection. A powerful aroma such as Palo Santo can focus our attention, unify our senses, and quiet the mind. This is the reason it has been popular among shamans (aka curanderos) leading ayahuasca ceremonies.

Palo Santo’s heavenly presence keeps energies grounded and clear, providing an uplifting scent that raises your vibration. This helps prepare for meditation and allows for a deeper connection to Source. Palo Santo also enhances creativity. It brings good fortune to those who are open to its magic.

How to use

• Use a candle, match or lighter to ignite your stick of Palo Santo.  
• Hold at about a 45 degree angle pointing the tip down toward the flame.  
• Allow it to burn for about 30 secs to 1 minute and then blow out.  
• Move about your workspace, home, car, bathroom or anywhere you would like to clear the energy.  
• When finished, place the stick in a fire proof bowl of metal, glass or clay.  
• The glow will end on its own unless you blow on the ember which will keep the smoke going.  
• Always use caution and respect when working with fire.

Our Sustainability Practices

We have been working directly with the same family in Ecuador for over 11 years to obtain our Palo Santo raw materials. They have worked directly with the ministry of forest and government agencies on reforestation projects including putting back over 100,000 trees into the dry tropical forest for the last 20 years. They only purchase wood from independent local collectors that find naturally dead trees that have been sitting on the forest floor for over 4 years.
