Used for millennia in South America, Palo Santo or holy wood in French contains purifying and soothing qualities.
Palo Santo, translated from Spanish as “holy wood”, is a tree found mainly in South and Central America. This little jewel of nature has healing, medicinal and spiritual abilities that have been known for thousands of years. This holy wood of Palo Santo has been used since the time of the Incas for its purifying and spiritual properties, for example in religious ceremonies. Runak 's Palo Santo comes from Trujillo and Piura, located on the north coast of Peru . Ethically harvested, this tree, sacred to Peruvians, is not cut during harvest. This only happens when the tree falls (dies) naturally. It is only after 3 or 4 years after the fall of the tree that its properties are manifested. Tradition has it that it is this long waiting period which contains the spiritual values and olfactory flavor specific to healthy wood.
If you didn't know him, it's high time to get to know him! Here are some examples of the benefits and uses of Palo Santo.
Remove negative energy or “mala energia” from your home
The high resin content releases its purifying properties when burned. South American shamanic folklore has it that Palo Santo removes negativity and obstacles to attract good fortune. To cleanse the energy of any space, simply light a stick using a candle, then extinguish the flame by gently shaking it in the air. White smoke will be emitted which will fill the room with beautiful energy and a delicious smell. You can add an intention, a prayer by circulating the smoke around the room. I say a little prayer in Spanish :):
“Light, life and love, may the spirit of good permeate throughout this space with the diffusion of the aroma of this holy wood”
