What is Palo Santo?

Palo Santo, or "sacred wood", originates from South America. We use it to remove negative energy and stress from a space, while at the same time bringing in good energy and creativity. In South America, it has been used in this way for thousands of years. Why not discover the magical properties of Palo Santo for ourselves?

Product Properties

• High-quality Palo Santo wood.
• Sustainably produced in Peru.
• Dimensions of each stick: 10 cm x 2 cm to 3 cm.

When a Palo Santo tree or its branches fall to the ground at the end of their life, the growers leave them to rest and dry for a further five to seven years. It is precisely this period of rest that allows the wood to develop the distinctive scent we know today.

Palo Santo from Your Soul Time is harvested in exactly this natural way, with deep respect for Nature.

Instructions for Use

Gently and slowly light the Palo Santo stick over a flame. We recommend lighting it over the flame of a candle. Direct lighting with a lighter is not advisable, as it introduces unpleasant odours into the process. We want the lighting process to feel natural — the way it has been done for thousands of years.

When lighting Palo Santo for the first time, allow a small flame to form. It is important not to blow the flame out. Shamans believe that by blowing on the flame you release and extinguish your own soul from within your body. Instead, turn the stick vertically upward — with the flame at the top — where it will naturally go out on its own and begin releasing the pleasant, deeply relaxing scent of sacred wood.

If the flame does not go out on its own, wave the stick gently through the air so that the movement of air extinguishes it.

Space Cleansing

With the smouldering stick, we walk through the space and move the stick in slow circles as we go. This extends the smouldering and the life of the Palo Santo smoke.

If we wish to cleanse a space of negative energy and attract good energy, we walk the incense through every corner of the space and gently wrap the room in smoke. We then place the stick in a fireproof bowl and allow it to go out on its own.

No need to worry — the stick will not burn down completely, and you will be able to use it many more times.

Boosting Creativity

Palo Santo is also considered an excellent way to boost creativity. This beautiful gift of Nature is used by many creative people, who light the incense whenever they need an extra spark of creative energy.

Bring your Palo Santo stick into the space where you will be creating. Light it slowly, allow it to catch gently, then extinguish it in the way described above. Place it beside your workspace in a fireproof bowl and enjoy the pleasant fragrance.

Enjoy the Beautiful Aromas

Light your Palo Santo whenever you need a moment of inner peace or simply wish to create a pleasant atmosphere at home. Let the magic of this sacred wood enchant you.
