Natural Palo Santo (Sacred Wood) Incense is a cream-yellow piece of dried wood obtained from a naturally fallen, dead Bursera graveolens tree that grows in the dry tropical forests of North America and Central America. The incense is characterized by a spicy-woody and slightly citrus scent, with slightly powdery notes.

The origins of using Palo Santo for fumigation date back to the tradition of ancient Inca civilizations, where it was used during spiritual ceremonies. Beliefs indicate that the smoke brings happiness, drives away bad thoughts, misfortune, and evil spirits.

The soothing and relaxing scent of this unusual wood still restores peace and balances emotions.

Properties of the Palo Santo scent:

• removes negative energy and tension in the body
• soothes the senses and harmonizes
• relieves headaches and anxiety
• supports meditation
• has antiseptic and anti-inflammatory effects

Despite the circulating controversies - according to the IUCN and CITES red lists the Bursera graveolens tree is not a critically endangered species. However, you should pay attention whether the Palo Santo incense is certified and is obtained from dead, naturally fallen trees.
