Palo Santo (Bursera Graveolens/Holy Wood) is a fragrant South American incense wood traditionally used for therapeutic, physical, and energy healing purposes. When burned, it produces aromatic smoke helping purify the air, inspire creativity, and cleanse energy with a pleasant woody and enriching scent.SustainabilityAt Bursera, we only source trees that have died naturally and have been resting on the forest floor for several years. Our ethical SERFOR-certified harvesting process ensures that no living trees are ever cut down, period. Not only does this help preserve Palo Santo, it leads to the potent, effective, and premium quality that is expected of all Bursera products.How to UseLight the end of the stick until there is a small flame, it may take up to 30 seconds of holding a flame to it. Once lit, let burn for 10-20 seconds then blow out so only smoke remains. Cleanse a space by painting the air with the fragrant smoke then place it in a Palo Santo holder or embers down in a fireproof bowl until the smoke ceases naturally which will take up to a minute. Each stick can be relit several dozen times and does not stay lit like traditional incense sticks.Tree Planted with Every OrderSourcing sustainable products is only the beginning of our commitment to the planet. As part of our mission, we strive to regenerate the planet's forests one tree at a time. With every order, we plant a tree. Over 10,000 planted so far.
