Palo Santo
Description
Palo Santo, known as Holy Wood, is wood from the Bursera Graveolens in Southern America.
Each Palo Santo Wood piece is about 10cm in length and 1cm thick.
Palo Santo wood is used as a sacred incense due to the strong fresh trail it produces when it is smouldered. The palo santo pieces do go out by themselves and are therefore safe to use indoors.
Once enough aroma is released simply allow to self extinguish or place on a shell/bowl. We suggest burning the palo santo pieces in and abalone or scallop shell for 2 reasons:
- The shell provides a safe flameproof surface/bowl for the wood to be burned in.
- The Shell represents water, the palo santo wood represents (grown from) the earth, the flame represents fire and a gentle waft of a hand, feather on breath represents wind.
This Palo Santo Holy wood is ethically sourced, and collected without having to unnecessarily fell trees. It is 100% sustainable and sourced in Peru under licence from the Peruvian Government. We Import our Palo Santo with a phytosanitary certificate which means it is checked by the Peruvian Department for Agriculture (equivalent) and UK HMRC and Defra.
Please remember, the majority of our products are completely natural - from the earth or grown by sea creatures. Any imperfections are entirely natural and make each one unique.Delivery Information
