In addition to its physical benefits, Palo Santo is believed to have powerful energetic properties. Many people use it to cleanse and purify their energy fields, as well as their living spaces. Its smoke is said to clear away negative energy and promote a sense of harmony and well-being. Palo Santo is also known to enhance spiritual connection and deepen meditation practices.

How to use Palo Santo in your daily routine and rituals
  • Cleansing: the most common use of Palo Santo is for spiritual purification and energy cleansing. You can do this with a smudging ritual!
HOW TO PERFORM A SMUDGING RITUAL: Set your intention, focusing on clearing the negative energy from your environment, and your mind. Once you have your intention in mind, light the Palo Santo and allow the stick to burn for 30-60 seconds, and then blow it out. Move from room to room, while gently waving the stick in the air. When you have finished, place it in a fireproof bowl, where the smoke can safely billow.
