History and traditions: With its sweet and intense aroma, Palo Santo (also Palosanto) has been used since ancient times by the Incas for spiritual purification, to cleanse negative energies, for meditation and to rebalance energies.
Information: Tropical tree, now protected, whose name means "holy wood" that grows spontaneously in Central and South America. It is possible to burn the wood directly without the aid of charcoal, to do this it is necessary to set fire to one end of the stick (usually no longer than 10-15 cm). If the wood has to be turned off and then used at another time, it is important to clean it of any charred residues. La Via dell'Incenso imports Palo Santo directly from Peru, verifying where possible that the collection and production are done in a responsible and environmentally compatible manner.
