If you think that your environment needs an energetic cleaning, you are in the right place. Next you will learn the properties of palo santo and how to smoke the house with this sacred wood.
What is palo santo and what is it for?
It is a wood from the jungles of Ecuador and Peru. When this wood is burned, it gives off a very aromatic smoke to which energetic, healing and magical properties are attributed.
The origins of the palo santo tree date back to pre-Columbian times and it is known that the Inca shamans used it for their religious-spiritual rituals.
The benefits of palo santo wood only serve when the tree has died of natural causes. If the palo santo tree is cut down while it is still alive, no benefit will be gained. After the natural death of the tree, It is necessary to allow 3 to 4 years to pass before it can be used, respecting its natural decomposition.
It is during this period of natural drying that the tree generates the oil that, when burned, will transform into the beneficial white smoke that people seek to cleanse themselves of bad energies.
