WHAT IS IT: Palo Santo wood is considered sacred wood for its many beneficial properties on a psychological and physical level: it has a calming effect that brings inner peace and serenity, it restores your inner balance and positive energy. Shamans from the Maya and Incas civilizations used it in ceremonies and rituals for its ability to create a line of communication with the spiritual world.

POPULAR QUALITY This product comes from the north of Peru, in the Andean region. The fragrance is delicate and less persistent. It's hand cut and therefore it has a less regular and more rough look. The aroma is delicate and fruity, with a gentle sweetness, and a discreet and sensitive character. It's a selection specially designed by Herborea for those wanting to get acquainted with Palo Santo or for those who prefer a softer aroma.

USE: light it up with a lighter at one end, and then turn it off immediately: the flame should last a few seconds so as not to burn the resin. A stream of smoke will rise from the embers and spread into the environment. To fuel the combustion we can gently blow on the embers reviving it as if we were giving energy to the sacred fire. When the embers turn off, we can repeat the ignition. DO NOT leave the flame burning under the stick for more than a few seconds! See the product description

ENVIRONMENT: The Palo Santo brand guarantees the controlled production of Palo Santo wood in full respect of the habitat of the plant and the environment: the wood isn't taken from living trees, but hand-picked from the ground after the plant has finished its natural life cycle, and after maturing on the ground for at least 4 years during which the essential oil and its aromatic fragrance stabilize; each of our products is guaranteed by smoke analysis and their botanical origin.
