Description
[Charm of Palo Santo]
It is a wild fragrant tree that is supported by highly sensitive people such as fashion people and yoga instructors in the NY area, and is attracting attention as a sustainable aromatic product, making it a great companion for a rich "home time."
You can enjoy the refreshing feeling of being in the forest just by leaving it there, and it can also be used for natural interior decoration. Among the many fragrant woods, this tree is attracting a lot of attention because of its strong and long-lasting fragrance.
[What is Palo Santo]
It is a naturally fragrant tree that grows wild in Peru, South America, and is called the "sacred tree." Because it contains a lot of resin, even a small piece of wood gives off a rich scent.
The fragrant smoke that rises when lit is said to ``purify the space, drive away bad spirits, and invite good spirits.'' Good spirits are attracted to the scent of palo santo and gather to lend their strength, but they also ward off bad spirits. Spirits are said to be chased away.
We are particular about palo santo cut with a "machete cut/hatchet". By doing so, no extra heat is added, and the "oil" or fragrance remains to its maximum extent. In addition, the machete cut gives it a natural shape, making it useful as an interior decoration.
[How to burn palo santo]
① Light the stick with a lighter, etc.
② Light the fire and when smoke comes out, fan it with your hand to extinguish the fire until only smoke comes out.
③Carry it around so that the smoke spreads throughout the space.
④ Once the smoke has spread sufficiently, wait for it to stop rising naturally. (It will stop standing up in 2-3 minutes)
*Even if you don't burn it, by cutting it into small pieces with scissors, the oil inside will come into contact with the air and emit a fragrance.
*Even if you burn it every day, one pack can be used for about 1 and a half to 2 months, so it is a highly cost-effective fragrant wood.
[Rare Palo Santo Tree]
Palo Santo is currently a protected tree under the Washington Convention and cannot be felled, and international trade in logs is prohibited, making it an extremely rare tree. However, it is available to farmers and some companies certified by the Peruvian government, and we only sell palo santo that has been imported through legitimate methods.
