Palo Santo means "Holy Wood" and is used in cleansing and purifying rituals in much the same way as White Sage Sticks. It is a wonderful, deeply aromatic wood that has been used by the Incas and people of the Andes for many centuries.

Its purpose is to purify and cleanse, to get rid of evil spirits and influences and it's smoke is believed by many to have healing and therapeutic powers.

Each stick is about 4 inches long and half an inch wide - varies as this is a natural product.

How to Use:

Hold the Palo Santo at a 45-degree angle and light with a match or lighter. Let it burn for a few seconds and then gently blow it out. You should be left with a small continuous trail of smoke. Wave the smoke around your home or crystals to clear surrounding negative energies and invite peace into space. 

Make sure the room where you are smudging is well ventilated. Open all the doors and windows. This is essential to not only drive out the negative energies (provide them with a route out) but also as a health precaution.

Do not use if you suffer from Asthma or have respiratory issues. Do not use near infants or young children or anyone who is or may be pregnant. Do not leave burning smudge unattended! 

At the end of use make sure the stick is extinguished. You can crush the end in sand or dirt, place the cover of the pot over it or simply place the stick in the open water container. Just be sure the stick is extinguished before it is left.
