Palo Santo is an enchanting tree that grows on coastal areas of South America. It is related to Copal, Myrrh, and Frankincense. Palo Santo literally means "Holy Wood". Shamans and healers traditionally burn it for its energetic purification and healing attributes much like sage. When burned, it produces an enriching aroma which increases your personal vibration when preparing for meditative therapy and gives you a more profound connection to your being. It also leaves a very pleasant and lasting aroma in your space. The sticks last a long time and only need to be burned for a short time to leave a wonderful scent behind.  Palo Santo is perfect for smudging. Smudging is a technique used to create a cleansing smoke bath. Our suppliers are ethical, fair trade, and sustainable. 

 

 

Burning Instructions: Light the tip of the stick, let the wood burn for less than a minute and blow out flame. Palo Santo may need to be relit many times.

      Luna Sundara is our little treasure. Our goal has always been to offer products that brings us closer to our roots. We travel to local communities where our Palo Santo comes from to see the job of the farmers who collect it. Each community with its own story and charm but with one similar goal: to bring this precious wood to the world. Throughout the years, we’ve learned that Palo Santo is a magic wood that exudes peace and connects us to the earth. During the hot summer months of my childhood, I would use Palo Santo to smudge and as a mosquito repellent. Now it is being used by the whole world, and it gives me so much joy to share it with all of you.

       

       

      Palo Santo Wood and Essential Oil

      Palo Santo is available in its natural form as a solid wood or as an essential oil. All Palo Santo wood can only be harvested after it has naturally fallen and left to dry for some time. Resin in the wood, which gives Palo Santo it's unique scent, eventually solidifies and the scent matures. When burned, it emits an aroma like no other. It can bring a sense of tranquility to any space.

      The oil is distilled from the heartwood of the Palo Santo tree. Palo Santo is a deeply spiritual essential oil, once commonly used by the Incas to purify and cleanse the spirit from negative energies. Widely renowned for its purifying and healing powers, Palo Santo promotes protection and increased vitality.
