Palo Santo 'Ritual' Sticks

Palo Santo is a natural incense with a thousand-year tradition, made from the Bursera graveolens plant. Its aroma has many benefits: it purifies the energies of the environment, encourages inner harmony and mental and physical balance, and stimulates concentration and introspection.

Why you should choose the stick format:
The stick is the oldest and most traditional format of Palo Santo. It is also the most economical since it can be lit dozens of times. Doing it the right way helps you enjoy the full Palo Santo aroma.

Why you should choose the Ritual variety:
It is the variety from the Manabí region of Ecuador. The Palo Santo that comes from this region lives in a favourable environment: the soil is not very rocky, the temperature's changes are more gentle and the climatic and environmental conditions are influenced by the proximity of the sea. These factors make the aroma of this variety more delicate and balsamic. It is the ideal variety for those approaching this type of natural incense for the first time.

How to use the Palo Santo sticks:
Using the Palo Santo stick is very simple, it just takes a little practice:
1. Light the Palo Santo wood.
2. Keep the flame to the stick for a couple of seconds and then extinguish it. Be careful not to keep the flame lit for too long, otherwise you risk burning the resin contained inside the Palo Santo stick.
3. If the flame goes out on its own after a few seconds, don't worry, this is how it should work.
4. Once the flame has been extinguished, blow the embers that forms on the top of the stick.
5. The smoke that comes out of the stick is the essence and aroma of Palo Santo. Its vibrations create a clean environment that promotes relaxation and introspection.
