Lit and gently extinguished, it smoulders and releases aromatic smoke. Palo santo, 'holy wood', is from a South American tree and has long been burned in Andean folk ceremony; it is traditionally used to clear a space. The fragrance is sweet, woody and slightly minty. From the maker: traditionally associated with its sweet, woody scent, these thin sticks are convenient for quick burns or individual use. Simply hold the stick upside down and light the top until there is a small flame. Size: approximately 12 x 11 x 2.6cm, weighing about 50g. Allow for small variations between batches. ## Traditions (belief, not health claims) Burning bundles of sacred herbs is rooted in the ceremonies of Indigenous peoples of the Americas; we encourage learning those origins respectfully. In modern practice smudging is used to clear a space, regularly when moving into a new home or after a difficult day. Rue (ruda) has its own long folk tradition in Latin America and the Mediterranean as a protective herb. Traditional meanings are offered for interest and reflection, not as a health claim. ## How to use - Light the tip, let it catch for a few seconds, then blow out the flame. - Hold a heat-proof dish or abalone shell underneath to catch embers. - Walk the smoke around the space and open a window. - Extinguish fully by pressing into sand or a dish; never leave it smouldering. - Ventilation: a slightly open window keeps scent pleasant and smoke light. - Gifting idea: pair it with a matching crystal or a holder for a ready-made ritual gift. - Journalling idea: note the date, the moon phase and what you wished for, and look back a month later. ## Care - Keep it dry and in its wrapper until use. ## Policies - Delivery: UK delivery £3.95, free over £40, 2–5 working days.
