How to use palo santo

Unlike other species from which resins are extracted, Palo Santo only requires that a piece of its wood be lit to release its smoke with powerful properties.

Palo Santo is a dense wood that does not burn easily, so it may take a few seconds to light. Ideally, let it burn for about 30 seconds, and then blow out the flame gently. When you extinguish the flame, the ember remains, which will produce white smoke for several minutes.

It is advisable to have a fireproof container on hand, in which to deposit the ashes, and where to place the palo santo when finished.

When the ember dies down, a little air will help revive it, shaking the stick or blowing gently. This usually only works as a temporary measure, so it is necessary to turn it on several times for it to be completely consumed.

Palo santo, energy cleansing

For energetic cleaning of spaces, once lit, shaking the ember in the air distributes the smoke throughout the room, and guides the wood through the areas you want to clean, such as corners, hallways and closets. .

For a deep energetic cleansing, you can burn about 3 to 4 sticks together, and let the smoke remain in the space for about 3 hours.

You can also do an energetic cleansing of stones and gems, which must be cleaned periodically, as they absorb and retain energetic influences.
