The 10 incredible benefits of Palo Santo

THE Palo Santo is one of the most fragrant woods in the world. Its sweet scent of pine, mint and lemon has been a symbol of healing and good fortune for centuries. Shamans, healers and those seeking a stronger spiritual connection with the world use palo santo to protect, experience and heal.

Here are ten of the incredible benefits of palo santo:

1. Purification, spirituality, energy.

For centuries, indigenous people of the Andes have used palo santo for spiritual cleansing and energy work. When the wood is burned, it is believed to clear negative energies and restore tranquility and calm.

2. Lithotherapy and purification.

Burning Palo Santo sticks during a cleansing ritual will amplify your creativity, senses, and increase your chances of success. The wood can help purify surrounding energies and promote positivity. It is also proven to reduce stress, anxiety, and improve focus.

3. Connections

If meditation is the yin, the  P Hello Santo is yang. This uplifting scent is the perfect partner for meditation. Raise your vibration and discover peace and grounding, as you immerse yourself in a deeper connection with the Earth and your inner consciousness.

Palo santo is used to treat a wide variety of physical ailments, including colds, flus, anxiety, depression, asthma, bronchitis, headaches, and emotional trauma. Use the oil to relieve arthritis and joint pain due to its anti-inflammatory properties.

4. Healing

Palo Santo tea (made by simmering the wood in hot water) acts as a natural digestive aid. The oil can be added to soaps, scrubs, and lotions to cleanse and moisturize the skin. The wood also contains high concentrations of d-limonene, which is said to have countless benefits for our bodies.  

5. Protection

When burned, Palo Santo clears negative energies, creating a calmer, more peaceful space. Set an intention for what you want to clear from your space, then move from one corner of the room to the other.

6.  The captivating and purifying scent of palo santo.

Let’s talk a little about the incredible and long-lasting smell of Palo Santo.  It can be used in kitchens, bedrooms, your vehicles and work spaces. A unique scent will be released in each space and use.

7.  Easy to use

Unlike the sage , palo santo wood is very easy to transport and is easy to store. Palo santo sticks can be kept on oneself. For example, when traveling, it is recommended to purify your hotel room with palo santo before sleeping for a more peaceful and deeper rest. 

8. Clean your stones and crystals

Stones do a lot of the work in removing negative energies. As with us, stones need to be purified to retain their qualities.  Incorporating a purification practice every 2 or 3 days for your amethyst, jasper, citrine or other types of stones is the best way to maintain their effectiveness.

9.Calm the mind and mental disorders.

The symptoms and causes of depression, anxiety, and sleep disorders are complex. Palo Santo wood does not claim to be a cure, but a smudging practice may provide some relief. It is an aromatherapy that releases a soothing scent into the olfactory and limbic systems of the body and brain, creating a sense of relaxation and calm. 

10. Eliminate unwanted insects.

Smudging has the added benefit of repelling mosquitoes in a natural, non-harmful way. Palo santo contains volatile oils and aromatic resins that send an alarm signal to insects, without the harsh chemicals.
