Palo Santo means “Holy Wood,” and it has earned the name. Native to the coast of South America and related to Frankincense, Myrrh, and Copal, this sacred wood has been burned in shamanic ceremony for centuries. Its gift is the reset: it raises the vibration of a room and leaves behind a spiritually uplifting atmosphere, especially when it follows other cleansing tools.

Sold by the stick, each roughly 4 inches long. The scent sits somewhere near cedar — warm, woody, and grounding — and it lingers gently rather than filling a room. In ceremonial traditions Palo Santo completes the energetic triad: sweetgrass invites, white sage purifies, and Palo Santo lifts what is left.

At a glance

  • Sold as: One stick, approximately 4 inches long
  • Origin: Ethically and sustainably harvested in South America
  • Botanical family: Related to Frankincense, Myrrh, and Copal
  • Scent: Warm and woody, similar to cedar
  • Role in ceremony: Raises the vibration — the closing step of the triad

How to use it

  1. Ignite the end of the stick, preferably the end with the least amount of stems.
  2. Let it catch for a few seconds, then blow out the flame so the wood glows and smolders.
  3. Waft the smoke with a feather or your hand, or rest the stick on a heat-resistant surface such as an abalone shell.
  4. Hold crystals or jewelry in the smoke until it flows smoothly around them.
  5. Make sure the stick is fully extinguished before you leave it. Keep away from children, animals, and flammable materials.

The ceremonial triad

Sacred smoke Its role in the ceremony When to reach for it
Sweetgrass Calls the energies forth At the very start, to open the space
White Sage Clears and cleanses In the middle, to sweep out what is stale
Palo Santo Raises the vibration At the close, to lift the room

✨ Temple Tip — Palo Santo goes last, not first

The most common mistake is lighting Palo Santo to clear a room. That is sage’s job. Palo Santo is what you burn after the clearing, to get the energy dancing again. Clear first, lift second — the difference in how a room feels afterward is remarkable.
