Bursera graveolens, also known as “holy wood,” is a tree that produces a powerful essential oil known for stimulating the immune system, purifying air and supporting emotional and spiritual health. Our Palo Santo comes from a tree species native to the tropical dry forests of Ecuador. It has its own cycle with nature to only produce its magnificent aroma, years after it has died naturally.

Palo santo has been used since the Incan era throughout south America as an incense burned at ceremonies and rituals.

When you buy our palo santo, we donate a portion of every sale to it’s sustainable harvesting, protection of the dry-tropical forests in Manabi, Ecuador, and the reforestation program that supports and educates many families in the local communities that live off the trade of this sacred tree. Why not try burning this wood smoke-free with our St Palo wood burner for a more delicate and longer lasting aroma.
