Description
Palo Santo is the wood of the Palo Santo tree (Bursera graveolens). When the wood is burned, it gives off a dense, fragrant smoke. Palo Santo is used in rituals to cleanse and ward off negative energies (Palo Santo is related to frankincense, myrrh, and copal trees, three other powerful energy cleansers and protectors). The wood is also used to communicate with the divine and to heal on the physical and spiritual levels.
