Palo Santo Logs

Pack of 3

Palo Santo (Bursera graveolens) is a tree native to Mexico that also grows throughout much of South America. The name literally translates as 'Holy Wood' and it is sometimes referred to as the Tree of Life. Palo santo has traditionally been used by numerous Central and South American cultures both medicinally and spiritually, and it has recently become popular thoughout the world, having a reputation for being one of best smudging products available anywhere. It can be burned in a similar way to white sage to clear negative energies and to cleanse people, objects and spaces. But unlike white sage, which clears all energies, palo santo clears only negative energies, allowing positive energies to remain. It is also said to promote health and well-being and to have protective qualities. Palo santo is excellent for prayer, meditation and relaxation. Its gentle but powerful cleansing properties can be used to restore tranquility to the body and to calm the mind.

Palo santo has a pleasant, sweet woody aroma. Palo logs burn slowly so you can get several uses out of each one. They may self-extinguish when burning; if this happens simply re-light as needed.

The main photo shows several logs but the purchase price buys 3 palo santo logs only. Any other items or accessories shown in our photos are for illustrative purposes only and are not for sale.

Our palo logs have been sustainably and ethically produced in Peru. Each log is roughly 10cm long but you can expect some variation in colour and shape. Most of these logs have a beautiful golden-blond colour, sometimes with attractive, visually-striking darker streaks, but some logs are a bit darker in colour than the ones shown in the photo. Some of them may also have small natural insect holes in them – an extra blessing from Mother Earth.

We also sell palo santo incense, oils and other palo santo smudging products. You can find our complete range of palo santo products here. It's definitely worth a look.
