Palo Santo means "holy wood" and is a wild tree that grows in the Amazon rain forests of Ecuador and Peru. It belongs to the same family as Copal, Myrrh and Frankincense. Its wood, leaves and oil have been used for thousands of years by indigenous shamans to heal the body and soul, purify spaces, clear negative energies and to prepare for meditation. Palo Santo has a sweet, balsamic, and herbal scent, wonderfully calming and soothing, which carries a powerful energy of healing and purification.
