Palo Santo: Cleansing 
 
Palo Santo (Bursera Gravelens) also known as 'Holy Wood' is perfect for use with smudging and incense. Ethically sourced from South America, it is derived from naturally fallen trees, which are renowned for producing powerful essential oil.
 
Palo Santo is used for it purifying and cleansing anti-microbial properties and is known to support emotional and spiritual wellbeing. Lighting it can help to clear negative energy and reduce anixiety. With sweet notes of pine, mint and lemon, it unique aroma will leave you feeling calm and uplifted.
 
Palo Santo has been lit by Sharmans during ceremonies and rituals for centuries. We particularly like to use Palo Santo here at ARDERE during meditation practices, to allivate feelings of stress and cleanse space.

    How to put out your Palo Santo stick

    If you want to put out and extinguish your Palo Santo you need to starve the material of oxygen. You can place the ember-side down in your fireproof bowl and stub and grind it out. To help put it out faster, place a little sand in a shell of fireproof bowl and stuc the ember-side of the stick out in the sand. 

    Once extinguished you can use the rest of the stick and relight it another day.

    Is Your Palo Santo Endangered?

    No, this is a case of mistaken identity. There are two different species referred to as Palo Santo. The species, Bulnesia sarmientoi, which grows in the Gran Chaco region of South America is threatened. It is characterised by a dark, mahogany-lookalike wood often used for its essential oils and making furniture. Then there is the Palo Santo used in cleansing rituals which we have here at ARDERE, this species is called Bursera graveolens which is not endangered, it is characterised by a yellowish-tan sometimes streaked with darker shades of brown or grey.

     

    Consistency

    Wood will naturally vary in colour, shape and potency.
