Palo Santo Sticks ♢ BLESSINGS
♢ BLESSINGS ♢
Palo Santo (Bursera graveolens), meaning 'holy wood' in Spanish, is a tree that inhabits the coast of Ecuador. The tree belongs to the same family (Burseracae) as frankincense and myrrh. Palo Santo has a sweet and calming aroma that puts you into a mindful state of being, centering you in the present moment and carrying your passions and intentions out into the universe. Its smoke provides medicinal and therapeutic healing energy, used for centuries by the Shamans of South America. As you burn this sacred wood, feel it inspire your creativity, clear your negative energy and bring love and fortune onto your horizon. Use in sacred rituals to cleanse your crystals, purify the energy of your space from "mala energia" (bad energy) and uplift your spirit.
Palo Santo helps to strengthen your immune system and increase your natural defenses to prevent and counteract respiratory diseases, the flu, allergies, asthma, cough, migraine, stress, tiredness and many other symptoms. Palo Santo contains a high concentration of limonene, a strong antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antifungal, and antiseptic agent.
Protect your body and your space with this powerfully purifying ritual, bringing new blessings into your space while the frenetic vibrations around you cease and clarity is restored.

🜃 Ethically & Sustainably Sourced:
At Artemis & Ivy, we are passionate about sourcing products that exist in the same condition they would have in ancient times: natural, sustainable and untainted. Our Palo Santo is sourced ethically and sustainably from suppliers in Ecuador with a dedicated Reforestation Program. It is planted, picked and transformed without harming the Palo Santo wood tree. Only wood that has been found to have died naturally in the forest is processed. The tree growths of approximately 40 years and dies naturally, then it has to lay down for approximately 10 years before they can process it. We are proud to support this small, local supplier in Ecuador. Your purchase brings social and economic wealth to all of the artisans and their families that produced this high-quality Palo Santo.
🜃 How To Use:
SMUDGING:
Light your Palo Santo stick and let it catch fire. Allow it to burn for about 30 seconds, then gently blow it out. If needed, you can blow on the embers to keep the smoke going throughout your cleansing process. Follow the guide below for the purpose that you are using the palo santo. Keep in mind that you may need to relight the stick a few times. Unlike sage, which continues to burn, Palo Santo is a bit more reluctant to hold a flame. When finished, place the Palo Santo stick in a fireproof container and allow the glow at the end of the stick to go out on its own. Alternatively, you can extinguish the embers in sand (we recommend filling the fire-safe bowl with sand for this purpose).
TEA:
Palo Santo can be used as a tea or tisane to aid the flu, a cough or asthma. To infuse, cut 1x stick in half and boil one half for 15 minutes, then filter and drink with honey.
REPELLENT:
Palo Santo is also an effective mosquito repellent. Simply burn a Palo Santo stick to keep mosquitos at bay.
🜃 How to Cleanse Yourself and Others:
You can then use the smoke to cleanse yourself or the aura of a person by holding it close to and around the body, allowing the smoke to surround. Say aloud or silently, 'I ask that the plant spirit of Palo Santo please clear any negative energies or emotions that are not for the highest good.' Remember to thank the Palo Santo for helping to cleanse and purify, and send it your love and appreciation.
🜃 How to Cleanse a Room or an Object:
To smudge/cleanse a room and fill it with blessings, simply walk around the room allowing the smoke and rich aroma to flow fill the room. You can start at the front door and walk clockwise through each room with your Palo Santo. Say aloud or silently, 'I ask that the plant spirit of Palo Santo please bring blessings into this space.' Remember to thank the Palo Santo for helping to cleanse and purify, and send it your love and appreciation.
Palo Santo can purify the energy of your crystals when you first receive them, and periodically when their energy begins to feel heavy. Hold the Palo Santo stick in one hand and use your other hand to raise your crystal and immerse it into the smoke. Depending on how many crystals you are cleansing, you may have to relight the stick a few times. If you can't lift your crystal, use your hand or a feather to waft the medicinal smoke onto the stone.
