Sustainably harvested Palo Santo sticks sourced from in suppliers in Ecuador who utilize ethical, fair trade, and sustainable practices. These sticks come from trees that die naturally. During this decomposition process, the tree is compressed, secreting its oil and acquiring its medicinal and aromatic properties. The tree remains uncollected for three to four years. Cutting a Palo Santo tree without the decomposition process won’t result in the same benefits. When burned, Palo Santo has a unique aroma, a bit sweeter than Peruvian Palo Santo that can help deepen spiritual moments of meditation and contemplation. Latin American shamans mainly used Palo Santo in their religious and spiritual rituals as a tool to bring good luck, ward off any signs of negativity, and as a means of getting a better spiritual connection.
