Palo Santo - "Holy Wood"
Experience The beautifully aromatic wood of the Bursera graveolens tree: Palo Santo
The sweet, sultry smoke from burning this sacred tree will enrapture your senses and relax your mind.
Best known for its energy-cleansing abilities, Palo Santo has played a central role in healing ceremonies, as a medicine, as a spirital tool, and revered for its healing properties, since ancient indigenous tribes first discovered it hundreds of years ago. Native to Central and South America, Palo Santo is most widely known, and used, for its' impressive ability to cleanse the spiritual and emotional energy of an ambient space.
The highly resinous tree, with its woodsy and citrus olfactory notes, is protected by law and only harvested from naturally-fallen or dead trees. The Palo Santo used by The Tidy Gentleman is the brand Trilonka, which is committed to sustainably-sourced, high-quality samples of wood, harvested to respectfully ensure the integrity of the tree itself, the land upon which it grows, and the culture of which we graciously adopt this beautiful tradition.
