PALO SANTO SMUDGE WAND
Palo Santo is a mystical tree that grows on the coast of South America and is related to Frankincense, Myrrh, and Copal. In Spanish, the name literally means “Holy Wood”. Palo Santo is burned in ceremonies by Shamans and Medicine people for its energetically cleansing and healing properties, similar to Sage. It creates a pleasant, fresh-smelling smoke with hints of mint and citrus that work well in keeping away mosquitoes and other flying insects. It provides an uplifting scent that raises your vibration in preparation for meditation and allows for a deeper connection to the Source/ God. It is also said that Palo Santo enhances creativity and brings good fortune to those who are open to its Magic. Palo Santo is traditionally used for relieving common colds, flu symptoms, stress, asthma, headaches, anxiety, depression, inflammation, emotional pain, and more. It is often used to clear the energy of a space prior to ritual work.
