Chakra Palo Santo Holy Wood

Palo santo, meaning ‘holy wood’ in Spanish, is a wild tree native to the coast of South America. Harvested from naturally fallen branches and trees in Peru, it has been used for centuries in sacred ritual, ceremony and healing. Its aromatic smoke is warm, slightly sweet and resinous, carrying a quality that feels immediately quieting.

To use, hold the stick above a candle flame until it catches alight, then gently blow out the flame. Move slowly through your spaces or around your body, allowing the smoke to clear and cleanse as it rises. A single stick can be relit many times.

Each stick varies naturally in size and form.
