Palo Santo

Palo Santo, also known as Holy Wood , is a sacred wood native to South America, used for centuries in rituals of purification and energetic demarcation. While the name may be less well-known, its aroma is familiar to many - it frequently appears in traditional saunas, home fragrances or massage oils, always in the form of a warm and recognizable presence.

Burning Palo Santo produces a fine smoke, with an earthy, woody, slightly sweet aroma, which gently settles in the space. It is a natural and at the same time mysterious aroma, without aggression, without excessive density. Compared to other ritual plants used for fumigation, Palo Santo is distinguished by a much more delicate and rounded scent.

This wood is traditionally used to cleanse the space, the atmosphere and the ritual gesture itself. Its burning does not seek intensity, but continuity - a smoke that accompanies beginnings, transitions or moments of conscious stillness.

Sacra Botanicals is offered as a bundle of 5 pieces of Palo Santo , each preserving the natural shape, grain and variations of the wood. It is not treated, scented or artificially modified. Each piece is unique, and differences in size and color are an expression of its natural character.

What is Palo Santo?

The name Palo Santo literally means "sacred wood." Its origin is linked to indigenous cultures in South America, where it was used in ceremonies for symbolic clarification, protection, and healing. The wood is lit, the flame is extinguished after a few seconds, and the resulting smoke is allowed to flow slowly, without intervention.

Its aroma is described as warm, woody, slightly aromatic, with subtle sweet notes that appear discreetly. It is a scent that is easy to recognize and difficult to reject — natural, clean, balanced.
