Palo Santo Smoke Sticks

Palo Santo is a revered tree in South America and is related to Frankincense and Myrrh. Palo Santo is Spanish for "Holy Wood"

For centuries Shamen have used Palo Santo to clear an area and people of negative energies.

If you’re looking for an easy and effective method for clearing away any unwanted or negative energy, either from the environment or from the aura, Peruvian Palo Santo Sticks may be the solution. Smudging is a ritual way to cleanse a person, place or an object of negative energies, spirits or influences. The smudging ceremony involves the burning of special, sacred plants, wood or herbal resins.
Light the Stick from a candle flame on a 45degree angle.. Once alight allow it to burn for 1 to 2 minutes before blowing it out. The stick should be smouldering, not burning. The idea is to get curls of smoke, not to set the stick on fire. Then, either passing an object through the resulting smoke, or fanning the smoke around a person or place, the spirit of the plant then purifies whatever is being smudged.
