A Guide to Palo Santo
For centuries palo santo has been used as an incense much like the sage smudge stick. Typically people burn Palo Santo to cleanse the energy in their home or place of work, set an intention ie relaxation or simply to enjoy its unique aroma.
The wood is lit at one end until it holds a flame, wait a couple seconds for a light burn or a moment more for a more intense effect and then blow out the flame. Its aroma is then diffused through the smoke. We advise you to keep a hold of the stick while its smoking and set it down in a bowl or plate once your’re finished, it gets messy!
Why not try diffusing this wood with our St Palo Wood Burner for a more potent and longer lasting aroma, without the smoke and ash.
