What Is Palo Santo Stick or Holy Wood?

Palo Santo, Spanish for "holy wood," is a mystical tree native to the forests of South America, particularly found in countries like Peru, Ecuador, and Bolivia. It holds significant spiritual and cultural importance to indigenous communities in these regions. The wood of the Palo Santo tree is known for its fragrant aroma and is traditionally used for ceremonial and medicinal purposes.

Palo Santo has been used for centuries in rituals and ceremonies by indigenous shamans and healers. It is believed to have cleansing and purifying properties, capable of warding off negative energy, evil spirits, and providing spiritual protection. The smoke produced by burning Palo Santo is thought to clear the energy of a space, making it conducive to meditation, prayer, and other spiritual practices.

Palo Santo ~ The Holy Wood

The sweet, smoky fragrance of Palo Santo is an intoxicating go-to for anyone looking to cleanse and clear their space. But before going out and grabbing a palo santo stick or essential oil, it's important to understand the history of this celebrated holy wood and how to use it respectfully.

Palo Santo's long, proud history.

Palo santo is a sacred tree native to South America. Indigenous Latin American cultures have used its wood in traditional healing and spiritual ceremonies for centuries. A cousin of both frankincense and myrrh, palo santo literally means "holy wood," and it's a fitting name given its past. When it burns, the aromatic wood releases lemon, mint, and pine notes—an invigorating, grounding fragrance that is believed to have a number of benefits.

Shamans and healers, often known as Curanderos, traditionally used the energizing and healing properties of palo santo to purify the air, dispel evil spirits, and cleanse negative energy. The wood has also long been used therapeutically to soothe cold and flu symptoms, depression, emotional pain, and other ailments. It's said that the uplifting aroma of palo santo is conducive to meditation and relaxation and that it both enhances creativity and brings good fortune.

Interestingly, these benefits are only found when a palo santo tree dies naturally and is allowed to decompose for five to eight years. That gives the oils in the wood enough time to fully mature before it is harvested and processed into sticks or essential oils.

The benefits of palo santo:

1. It helps clear negative energy
The high resin content of palo santo wood is believed to have to purify properties when it's burned, hence why it was traditionally used to clear negative energy and purify spaces, people, and objects.

2. Its scent is relaxing
Burning palo santo as part of a calming ritual can help promote a shift in energy. The pleasing, grounding aroma of palo santo triggers the brain's olfactory system, stimulating the relaxation response and preparing the mind for meditation or creative focus.

3. It might help ease stress and pain

Palo santo was traditionally used as a remedy for ailments like the common cold, headaches, and stress. While clinical studies on the wood's medicinal effects are limited, it is rich in both antioxidants and limonene, a terpene that has been extensively researched and has anti-inflammatory benefits.
