Description
Palo Santo or “Holy Wood” is a sacred tree that grows on the coast of South America. Traditionally this earthy scented wood was used by shamans, healers, and elders in ritual prayer, purification ceremonies, and for healing purposes. The ancients believed the tree had both magical and healing properties that would only be cultivated if the tree was allowed to live a full life and given a respectful death. They would only use wood from naturally fallen Palo trees that had been lying peacefully for an extended period after which they were then dried, aged, and eventually burned during rituals. The resulting sacred smoke bath was believed to have metaphysical properties that both purified negative energies and attracted positive ones. It is also well known for its healing properties:
- Relieves headaches and helps with the common cold
- Reduces stress and anxiety
- Reduces inflammation and effects of allergies
