Why I Use Palo Santo and Why I suggest using it !
If you’ve ever held a piece of Palo Santo in your hand, you’ll know there’s something ancient about it , something that speaks to your energy field before your mind even catches up. This isn’t just about scent. It’s about soul hygiene.
What is Palo Santo?
Palo Santo means “Holy Wood” in Spanish, and it’s been used for over 500 to 1,000 years, by the indigenous people of South America, especially the Inca and Andean shamans, to cleanse energy, ward off negative spirits, and bring blessings into the space. This isn’t new-age fluff. It’s a spiritual technology rooted in nature’s intelligence and its been used for many years !
Energetic Benefits
Palo Santo is like a reset button for your environment. It’s not about masking energy, it moves it. Clears it. Transmutes it. If the vibe’s been off, you’ve had heavy conversations or arguements, or just feel like something doesn’t sit right. Palo Santo helps realign the energy field back to balance. You’ll feel the shift. Your body knows this too !
Why I Use It on My Crystals and Space
Crystals, just like us, absorb energy. They hold onto intention, but also sometimes the noise around them. Before I use any of my pendants or energetic tools, I cleanse them and give them a good intention for the day or the days to come, just remember that crystals hold energy and intention, the more you work with these crystals, the more they will work wonders for you.
When I start to cast the Vortex pendants in my workshop, I clear the space with Sage and Yerba Santa and then put the good energy back in with Palo Santo. Not because it’s ritual, but because it works. It clears any stagnant energy that may have collected.
What Happens When You Burn It?
It releases aromatic oils that are rich in limonene, a natural anti-inflammatory and stress reducer.
The scent grounds you, calms the nervous system, and shifts your brainwaves into a more peaceful state.
The smoke binds to negative energy and carries it away — it’s like giving your space a sage-level detox but with a sweeter, more grounding undertone.
Bonus – It’s Sustainable (When Ethically Sourced)
Real Palo Santo is only harvested from naturally fallen trees that have been left to age for 4–10 years before being used. That’s when the oil becomes potent. So when you're using real Palo Santo, you're working with nature in its most refined form — matured, wise, and energetically alive.
💨 Why I Recommned It ?
If your space feels off, your mood is scattered, or your crystals need a little refresh, Palo Santo is one of the simplest, most powerful ways to recalibrate.
It’s not about being spiritual. It’s about being energetically clean in a world that’s throwing shit energy at us 24/7.
