What is Palo Santo?
The term Palo Santo literally means “holy wood” in Spanish. The tree is native to Peru, Ecuador, and other South American regions. Only branches that fall naturally to the ground after maturing are collected — no living trees are cut down. This sustainable method respects the environment while producing sticks rich in essential oils.
What Does Palo Santo Wood Smell Like?
When burned, Palo Santo wood releases a unique fragrance often described as woody, sweet, and citrusy with hints of pine and mint. Unlike synthetic incense, it is gentle yet deeply aromatic, filling a space with a calming perfume that lingers without overpowering.
Many people say the smell instantly grounds the mind, relaxes the body, and lifts the spirit — a reason why it is still used today in meditation, yoga, and sacred rituals.
Benefits of Palo Santo Wood Sticks
Burning Palo Santo sticks can bring a wide range of spiritual, emotional, and practical benefits, including:
- the aroma is soothing and helps calm the nervous system.
- traditionally used to clear negative energy from homes, crystals, and personal spaces.
- perfect for meditation, yoga, or studying.
- the smoke helps deter mosquitoes.
- Palo Santo contains natural compounds with antimicrobial properties.
These benefits have made Palo Santo one of the most popular forms of natural incense worldwide.

How to Burn Palo Santo Wood Sticks
Burning Palo Santo is simple, but the method matters for the best experience. Here’s how to use it:
- Hold one end of the stick at an angle.
- Light the tip with a candle, match, or lighter until it catches a small flame.
- Allow it to burn for 30 seconds.
- Blow out the flame so the stick releases fragrant smoke.
- Move the smoke around your space, body, or objects you wish to cleanse.
After use, you can rest the stick in a fireproof dish or bowl of sand. Unlike traditional incense sticks, Palo Santo does not burn continuously — it self-extinguishes, allowing you to relight and reuse it many times.
