Palo Santo is the aromatic wood from the tree Bursera Graveolens, which grows in South and Central America. It belongs to the same family as Frankincense, Myrrh and Copal.

Its ability to heal and cleanse was discovered by Spanish monks, who named the tree “Palo Santo” which means “Holy Wood”. It was used by shamans to cleanse energetically, attract positive energies, re-establish peace and balance and encourage the healing of the body, mind, emotions and spirit.

Our Palo Santo has been sustainably sourced from Ecuador and Peru

The wood has been sustainably harvested under licence. No trees are cut down and there is full traceability. Only the ‘dead’ wood from the forest floor is collected. The wood we buy is at the perfect point in its life cycle to be suitable for incense and smudging use. A portion of sales goes towards further reforestation

Properties of Palo Santo wood: Raise vibration, cleansing, grounding, protection, peace, creativity, good fortune, connect to fire and earth elements. 

Natural plant resins, wood and herbs have been used for centuries for their various properties in healing, purification of space, spiritual rituals, blessings and magick.

As the smoke carries the energetic properties and energies of the plant, incense may be used for purposes such as:

• to cleanse your personal auric field, your home or other space,
• to purify healing spaces or clear away unwanted energies during healing 
• to bless and protect during spiritual rituals and ceremonies
• for energetically cleansing sacred objects, healing tools and crystals.

How to use Palo Santo:

Light one end of the stick and allow it to burn for 30 seconds. The stick will go out of its own accord within 2 minutes. Never leave burning sticks unattended or place in a heatproof bowl to cool down after use.

CRYSTALS

Cleaning crystals is essential to maintain their energy and appearance.

To clean your crystals, be sure to research your specific crystal's care needs to ensure you clean it effectively without causing any damage, as some are sensitive to water or certain cleaning agents. Regular cleaning helps your crystals retain their vibrancy and positive energy. For most crystals, a gentle dusting works well to keep them dust free.

Water Cleanse
Another option for water-safe crystals is to rinse under lukewarm running water or a brief soak in a mild, crystal-safe cleansing solution. Use a soft brush or toothbrush to remove stubborn dirt or dust, then rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a clean cloth.

Energetically Cleanse
Alternatively, you can cleanse them energetically with methods like smudging, sunlight, or sound.

JEWELLERY

To keep your silver and silver gemstone jewellery looking its best, follow these care tips

• First, store them in a cool, dry place, preferably in individual pouches or a lined jewellery box to prevent tarnishing and scratches.
• Avoid contact with harsh chemicals, perfumes, and lotions, which can dull the metal and gemstones.
• After wearing, gently wipe the jewellery with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove oils and residue. Periodically, use a silver polishing cloth or a mild silver cleaning solution to restore their shine, being cautious not to damage any gemstones in the process.
• Lastly, when not in use, keep your pieces securely stored to maintain their beauty for years to come.
