Oh, Sweet Palo Santo Wood from Peru and the beautiful Burseara Graveolens tree! Also called "Holy Wood" it is closely related to Frankincense, Myrrh and Copal but has its own distinctive, woodsy fragrance. Palo Santo is a renewable and completely natural aromatic wood that is bio-friendly as it is collected from fallen branches and trees. (Yes the Peruvian government protects these trees so none are cut for harvesting this wood). You are buying a Bundle of Palo Santo that contains:One XL thick Palo Santo Stick (about 4.5" - 5" long) as shown in the pictureThis is a very large stick that will last a long time, even as you burn it often.Package of Palo Santo chips (the amount shown in the picture) 20 gm = approximately 1/4 cupThe Ancient Incas used Palo Santo as a purifying, spiritual remedy and that practice continues in South America today. It is my personal favorite as it does not contain any additives or fragrance that may irritate. A little goes a long way too. You can easily mix it with other herbs and incense to create your own fragrances. As with any type of burning ritual, please use a fireproof container and caution with fire.Traditionally Palo Santo is used not only in smudging and cleansing rituals, but also to bring Good Fortune, Creativity and Health. I use it everyday just to lift and calm my spirits. Beautiful!Crystal blessings to All!
