Translated from Spanish as “holy wood” or “the wood of the saints”, the Palo Santo tree was first discovered by monks and was often used in spiritual ceremonies, prayers and offerings to the Gods. It also can be used to clear negative energy from any space as well as protect, experience and heal’.
 
Healers, shamans and community elders from South America believe that Palo Santo has a strong, mystical spirit that needs to be treated with respect and sincerity. They say the spirit continues to live on in the wood long after the tree has fallen, and if it’s used properly, it will pass on its restorative powers to whoever possess part of it next.
