Palo Santo

An Incredible Gift from Nature . We source our Palo Santo from an Ethical  Company in South America, who sustainably harvest and have a nursery for propagation and replanting of Palo Santo Trees . They  provide employment for the local peoples . 

Mystical Palo Santo purifies and heals, not only clearing away negative energies but also encouraging good energy into the space, body and consciousness. 

It has the effect of being physically grounding and lifting the vibration of the energy field, opening the third eye and crown chakra, making it perfect for ritual cleansing, meditation, creativity and connection to the Source.

Burning Instructions

Use a candle, match or lighter to ignite your stick of Palo Santo.  Hold at an angle of 45 degrees pointing down until the tip is flaming.  Allow it to burn for about 30 secs to 1 minute and then blow out. 
Move about the space you wish to clear, paying particular attention to corners and spaces where the energy does not normally flow freely. It helps to have a window and or door open to allow the smoke to take away negative energy and for good energy to find it's way.
If you are smudging a person move the Palo Santo around them so the smoke envelops their body.


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.
