Palo Santo
Palo santo is a type of wood that is commonly used for its fragrant smoke, which is believed to have spiritual and medicinal properties.
The sought after fragrance of palo santo is formed after the death of the tree. The concentration of essential oils that give its wood an irresistible aroma and remarkable healing properties do not develop until after the tree dies.
How To Use
-
Choose a palo santo stick: Select a palo santo stick that is dry and has a strong, woody scent.
-
Light the stick: Hold the stick at a 45-degree angle and light it with a match or a lighter. Let it burn for about 30 seconds to a minute.
-
Blow out the flame: Once the stick is lit, blow out the flame gently so that it starts to smolder and smoke.
-
Smudge: Move the stick around your space, allowing the smoke to cleanse the area. You can use your hand or a feather to help spread the smoke. Be sure to get into all the nooks and crannies.
-
Put out the stick: When you're finished smudging, gently tap the stick against a fireproof surface or a bowl of sand to extinguish it.
Palo santo can be used to cleanse negative energy from your home or workspace, or to create a calming and meditative atmosphere. It can also be used to purify crystals and other objects. Just be sure to use it in a well-ventilated area and avoid inhaling too much smoke.
