ORIGINS

Originated in South America, particularly in Peru, it was widely used by the Inca and Maya Shamans during religious and spiritual rituals and weddings.

Palo Santo sticks are made from the tree's dead branches of the same name tree. They are harvested only 4 to 10 years after the death of the branches, as this is the time needed for the wood essence to mature and acquire its healing power. No wood is destroyed during the collection of the branches.

The Palo Santo is a strong tree. The Spanish used to break their axes trying to cut the tree. Its composition makes it particularly resistant to the environment and especially to fungi and insects.

The exploitation of Palo Santo in Peru is regulated. It is protected by the government to preserve the species, the ecosystem and the people associated with its cultivation. It is still widely used today for its many properties described above.
