Sustainable, Ethically Harvested Palo Santo from Peru

Sacred Wood for Ritual, Cleansing, and Calm Palo Santo (Bursera graveolens) offers a soft, citrus-forward aroma with warm, resinous undertones and a hint of rosy wood. Our Palo Santo sticks are sustainably wild-harvested in Peru from naturally fallen trees and branches that have rested on the forest floor for 4–10 years. This slow aging deepens the fragrance as the natural oils and resins mature. For centuries, Indigenous communities and traditional healers throughout South America have burned Palo Santo to purify space, bless a ceremony, and ease the mind. Many continue this practice today for grounding, meditation, and a peaceful daily ritual. Choose a small bundle or a full pound.
