What is Palo Santo?

Palo Santo—Spanish for “Holy Wood”—is a sacred, aromatic wood from the Bursera graveolens tree, native to South America. Loved around the world for its soothing scent and grounding energy, it’s often used in incense, energy cleansing, and meditation rituals.

The most potent Palo Santo comes from trees that have died naturally after decades of life. These pieces may carry small markings or holes from insects or natural decay—gentle signs of time that actually enhance the wood’s aroma and energetic strength.

When burned, it releases a comforting blend of citrus, pine, and mint—calming the mind, clearing the space, and helping you reconnect with your inner stillness.

• A bold, grounding aroma that speaks straight to the soul

Ethically Sourced & Sustainably Harvested

We honour the Earth and tradition by sourcing only from fallen branches of mature Palo Santo trees in Peru—never cutting living trees. This sustainable approach helps protect fragile ecosystems and ensures long-term regeneration of the dry tropical forest.

For centuries, this sacred wood has been used by Indigenous communities to clear heavy energies, uplift the spirit, and invite harmony. Today, it remains a powerful ally for emotional balance, energetic healing, and soul-deep transformation.

By choosing our Palo Santo, you’re not only nurturing your well-being—you’re also supporting the planet, honouring ancient wisdom, and inviting more peace and clarity into your life.
