What this is

Palo Santo, meaning Holy Wood, comes from South America and has been used for generations to cleanse energy and bring peace. We source only from naturally fallen trees and ethical co-ops to protect this sacred species and the communities who rely on it.

Why people use it

• To calm the mind and uplift energy

• To remove heavy or lingering emotional weight

• To prepare a restful or ritual focused space

How to use

• Light the end until a small flame appears, then blow out

• Allow the fragrant smoke to drift around the space

• Use gentle, mindful movements

• Keep a window open for release

Cultural respect

Used by communities in Peru, Ecuador, and surrounding areas. We support ethical harvesting that respects cultural practices and forest sustainability.

What is included

• 3 to 5 ethically sourced Palo Santo sticks (varies by listing)

• Sustainable, naturally fallen wood only

Safety and care

• Use a fire safe dish beneath

• Ensure full extinguishing after use

• Supervise at all times around pets and children

Crystal companions
