Palo Santo is a mystical tree that grows on the coast of South America and is related to Frankincense, Myrrh and Copal. In Spanish, the name literally means “Holy Wood”. It is part of the citrus family and has sweet notes of pine, mint and lemon.
Palo Santo is enjoyed by many for its energetically cleansing and healing properties similar to Sage and Cedar. It is a strong medicine that has been popularized for its heavenly presence in keeping energies grounded and clear. It provides an uplifting scent that raises your vibration in preparation for meditation and allows for a deeper connection to the Source of all creation. It is also said that Palo Santo enhances creativity and brings good fortune to those who are open to its magic.
Smelling the scent of burning Palo Santo sticks is a way of telling the brain and the body to tap into mindfulness and turn on its relaxation response. You’ll release dopamine and serotonin (neurotransmitters associated with making us feel happy and rewarded) and stimulate the production endorphins and enkephalins (the body’s natural pain killers). The overall effect is that you’ll experience feelings of mental and emotional clarity, peace and tranquility, and less physical discomfort.
These sticks can be lit alone and will burn for a few seconds to a minute or so and extinguish themselves, filling a space with a sweet warm fragrance.
