Palo Santo – the "holy wood" full of spiritual power
Palo Santo, meaning “holy wood”, has been revered for thousands of years by the peoples of South America as a symbol of spiritual purity, peace, and protection. Its smoke is considered a bridge between the material and spiritual realms – it cleanses the aura, removes negative energy, and attracts blessings. The aroma of Palo Santo combines a subtle vanilla sweetness, the freshness of citrus, and deep balsamic woody tones – like the breath of a forest bathed in golden light. It’s a scent that balances emotions, calms thoughts, and brings harmony to the soul.
Respect for nature and tradition
Originating from Ecuador, Palo Santo (Latin: Bursera graveolens) grows wild in the tropical forests of South America. It is harvested in harmony with nature – only from naturally fallen branches. This reflects deep respect for the rhythm of nature and the spiritual heritage of the region. Bursera graveolens is not an endangered species – unlike other trees collectively referred to as “Palo Santo” – yet the traditional practice of gathering it is still rooted in patience and gratitude towards Mother Earth. Only in this way does the “holy wood” reveal its true power.
Incense in esotericism – a bridge between the worlds of matter and spirit

By filling your space with the aroma of Palo Santo, you invite peace, light, and balance into your surroundings. It’s a simple yet profound practice – one that helps you pause, listen within, and feel your unity with nature. Let the smoke of the holy wood become your guide towards harmony and spiritual serenity.
How to use Palo Santo chips?
Before you begin the cleansing ritual:
- Prepare the right atmosphere and tidy your surroundings. Pause, relax, and take a breath. You’ll experience the magic of Palo Santo more deeply with an open and peaceful mind. The cleansing ritual is a sacred moment that allows you to look into your own soul, so don’t rush through it.
- Approach the Palo Santo incense ritual with reverence and respect. It is part of the ancient culture of the Indigenous peoples, who used it to connect with the spirit of nature and find harmony within themselves and their environment.
- During the ritual, focus on the intention you wish to carry. Surround yourself with the fragrant smoke of Palo Santo, immerse yourself in its aroma, and feel the natural magic of South American tradition. Cleanse your spirit, mind, and space, dispel negative energy, and invite whatever is good and uplifting.
Instructions for burning Palo Santo incense:
- Place a small amount of Palo Santo chips in a heatproof bowl or on a charcoal disk.
- Light them using a match or lighter, and allow the flame to burn briefly.
- Blow out the flame – the chips will begin to smoulder, releasing a rich, purifying aroma.
- At this moment, you may state your intention, prayer, or affirmation.
- After completing the ritual, place the glowing chips in a safe area – they will extinguish naturally after a while. If needed, you can relight them again later.
