Effects of Palo Santo
Palo Santo or Holy Wood is an aromatic wood known for its pleasant, warm, calming scent. Sweet-smelling Palo Santo is a mood lifter and can contribute to a peaceful atmosphere at home. Palo Santo is often used to cleanse rooms or houses, not unlike White Sage. In addition, it is a popular incense to use during meditation or other spiritual activities. Give Palo Santo a try during an Ayahuasca ritual.
Use of Palo Santo
Use a match or lighter to light up one end of the piece of Holy Wood. Remove the flame as soon as the core of the wood begins to glow. Blow out the flame. This will cause the wood to glow and fume. This should release the characteristic, pleasant scent of Holy Wood. Place the wood on a fireproofed tray or walk it around the room to spread the smell.
History
The scientific name for Palo Santo is Bursera graveolens. Palo Santo belongs to the family Burseraceae, just like other aromatic trees like Myrrh and Frankincense.
Palo Santo was originally found in Central and South America, from Mexico and Yucatan to Peru and Venezuela. The tree is also abundant on the Galapagos islands.
The medicinal and ritual traditions surrounding Palo Santo go back centuries. Many of the indigenous peoples inhabiting the lands where the Palo Santo tree is found consider its wood to be sacred. It was (and still is) used during various religious ceremonies and rituals, to ward off evil spirits or ‘bad energy’. Shamans also used Palo Santo during Ayahuasca ceremonies. For this reason, Spanish colonists and priests adopted the name Palo Santo, which literally means holy wood.

I've tried many palo santo sticks from various sources, many of them feel like somebody dropped few drops of essential oil on them, so soon you're left with piece of ordinary no name wood. These are the real deal! (Posted on 8/28/2025)Rating - Amazing! Review by Sandra Oana

Palo santo is amazing, a nice piece of wood with a great smell that burns nicely. Only thing that surprised me was that there was just one stick. I thought there would be more as mentioned in the description. It says a pile of 2 - 4 but I only got one. Maybe it was the amount of grams it mentions, who knows.

Fast delivery, good product. (Posted on 1/11/2021)Rating - Best price and quality Review by Cobbler

The other reviews told everything: Really good smell, lasting long, calming effect, smooth athmosphere. What I want to add/highlight: I looked around in my town and on webshops and you can get one of these from many places, but the best amount/price ratio can be found here. And in quality, too. I've bought some from 2 different places, and they not smell as natural as these do. (Posted on 12/11/2020)Rating - Awseome Review by Stitch
