What is Palo Santo?



Palo Santo, which literally means "sacred wood,"is a powerful spiritual tool that can be used to cleanse, purify and energetically protect your space.


The use of palo santo for smudging dates back to the Inca civilization. The Incas used cleanse negative energies and attract good luck. It was believed that the smoke from palo santo had the power to purify and protect physically and spiritually. In addition to its use in spiritual cleansings, palo santo has been valued throughout the centuries for its medicinal properties and pleasant, relaxing aroma.

Smudging can be used to purify any environment — home, office, or sacred space like an altar. It’s important to keep your space clean and free of negative influences so that positive energy can flow freely.


Smudging is a powerful spiritual practice, but it's important to use caution when working with fire. Make sure to burn the smudge stick in an area with plenty of ventilation, never leaving it unattended. Be aware of any surfaces or materials nearby that may catch the sparks from the smudge stick.


Once the wand burns, use your hand to waft the smoke around, filling every corner of your space with the cleansing smoke. Visualize any negative energy being wiped away and replaced by positive energy for healing and protection.


You can also use mantras or affirmations while you're smudging — repeating them out loud or in your mind can help to amplify the power of your spiritual cleansing further. When you're done smudging, allow the smudge wand to burn down completely before dousing it in a bowl of sand.
