Palo Santo wooden sticks
Palo Santo is – as the name suggests – the “holy wood” of South America, comparable to sandalwood in India. Because it is extremely rich in essential oil, it smells very intense. It grows mainly in Peru. The Peruvians believe that their Palo Santo has powerful powers - after all, it thrives even in very poor soils. It smells wonderfully sweet, warm and aromatic with a hint of coconut. In the ancient Andean peoples, Palo Santo was a main part of ritual, religious and magical festivals. It has the power to drive away negative energies and guide our meditation into depth. It calms the flow of thoughts, helps us to dissolve anger, relaxes us and opens us to spiritual moments.
