🌿 The Meaning Behind Palo Santo

Palo Santo, meaning “holy wood,” is a fragrant tree native to South America, cherished for centuries by indigenous cultures. When burned, its smoke carries a sweet, calming aroma that gently cleanses the energy around you.

Palo Santo is a symbol of:

  • Purification and spiritual cleansing

  • Connection to ancestral wisdom

  • The sacred breath of the earth

In energetic traditions, Palo Santo is used to clear negative energy, invite blessings, and open pathways for healing and intuition.

“You are allowed to release what no longer serves. You are allowed to create sacred space. You are allowed to breathe deeply into your peace.”
