Palo santo "Sacred wood" - Palo stick, scales and cones

The Palo Santo "Bursera graveolens" has been used by the civilizations of South America for centuries, in particular by the Inca and Mayan shamans to purify bad energies from people, objects and places and to attract positive energies in bringing peace and serenity. It was used in religious and spiritual rituals as well as in indigenous wedding rituals but also in ethno-pharmacy by relieving skin and muscle problems. It is good for concentration and perfect for relaxation and meditation. It has a mild, sweet and soothing aroma that is a bit like Myrrh or Sandalwood. Its smell has fragrant notes of pine or Eucalyptus, lemon citrus, a hint of coconut and a subtle hint of mint.
