What is palo sanro?

Palo Santo is a type of wood that comes from the Bursera graveolens tree, a native tree to South America. The wood is known for its aromatic properties and is often burned as incense for spiritual and medicinal purposes. Palo Santo has been used for centuries by indigenous people for purification, cleansing negative energy, enhancing creativity, calming the mind, and treating common colds and flu symptoms. The name Palo Santo means “holy wood” in Spanish, and it is considered a sacred plant in many cultures. The oil extracted from the wood is also used in aromatherapy and natural perfumes. Palo Santo wood is sustainably harvested, and its use has been regulated to prevent overharvesting and protect the species.
