Our palo santo sticks exude a clean pine scent and are a gentle way to cleanse and purify energy. Originating from a small family run farm in ecuador (puerto lopez county in the manabi province), our palo santo wood is collected from fallen tree branches. Unlike other species, palo santo must fall by its own accord in order to preserve freshness. Plus, in doing so, not a single tree is cut down or harmed. A portion of each palo santo sale goes towards an extensive palo santo reforestation project in ecuador. In six years, this project has funded the building of a greenhouse and the planting of over 40,000 trees. Palo santo is a tree found in south america, traditionally used by indigenous communities as a sacred practice.
