• Clean and purify the space
• Detoxifies energies.
• Clarifies emotions and feelings
• Natural antidepressant

• Cleans the Aura.

Origin:

In the Ayabaca area (Peru) the summers are long, comfortable and cloudy and the winters are short, cold, dry and mostly clear. This generates a drier wood in the Palo Santo, an intense but dry fragrance thanks to the resin that is mixed with the wood.

The artisan cut is less regular, more crude. It is the selection specially designed by Herborea for those who are approaching Palo Santo for the first time or for those who prefer a softer aroma.

WHAT IS THE PALO SANTO?

Palo Santo means "Sacred Wood" consideration that it has received for millennia. In the rituals of South American shamans it was used to attract positive energy, as a mystical instrument to communicate with the gods and highly appreciated for its healing properties.

Today it is considered a natural incense with powerful beneficial properties: its perfume relaxes, generates good vibrations and promotes a good mood.

Because it is important to buy Palo Santo from a trusted site.

Regulated by the Peruvian government

Our Palo Santo comes exclusively from Peru, where for years it has been regulated by the state, with a series of measures to guarantee a balance between the consumption and growth of this tree.

The collection is exclusively of fallen wood

Following the state regulations, the wood is always collected from fallen branches or already dead trees. In addition, the extraction is always carried out in assigned areas with a previous study of forest mass.

Commitment to the inhabitants and Re-planting of Palo Santo

The law states that it has to be extracted and cut by the inhabitants of the autochthonous communities, thus benefiting the local economy.

When the Palo Santo passes through customs, it is verified that all the requirements have been met and all the corresponding documentation is delivered.

The Holy Stick

Palo Santo incense (bursera graveolens) is a natural wood incense used for centuries by the Incas and other indigenous cultures to purify and cleanse energies, providing spiritual protection. Its smell is intense and slightly sweet, and provides a feeling of well-being.

The palo santo of our store has its origin in Peru, in the Dry Forest of the Northwest. It is a tree adapted to arid conditions and high temperatures. In the dry and dry season it defoliates completely and appears as a dead tree, but at the beginning of the rains it regrows very easily. It is preferably located on steep slopes and hills. Its bark is smooth, purple to greyish in color, and secretes a white or yellowish resin. It can reach up to 10 meters in height and grows from 50 to 1500 meters above sea level.

The Peruvian Forest Regulation regulates the sustainable use of palo santo wood through a Forest Management Plan that attends to the replacement and maintenance of the resource, while favoring the cleaning of the forest, the banks and irrigation dams, where trunks and branches tend to accumulate.

Currently the palo santo continues to be used as incense or sahumerio . Only trees that have finished their life cycle and die naturally are used. These trees are the only ones that after a period of rest provide aromatic properties and concentrate essential oils.
