Palo santo
-Healing Effects
In addition to energetic cleansing, Palo Santo is also said to have healing properties. The smoke from the burned wood is said to help reduce stress, ease anxiety, and lift the mood. Many report deep relaxation and a feeling of inner peace after using Palo Santo. The wood also contains essential oils that have anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties. Therefore, burning the incense can also be used as a supportive measure for physical ailments.
-Purifying Rooms
Palo Santo smudging is often practiced to remove negative energies from spaces. When burned, the wood emits a sweet, woody scent that has a calming and purifying effect. Many people use the sticks to energize their living spaces, meditation rooms, or yoga studios and create a harmonious atmosphere. By purifying the air, people feel more comfortable in their surroundings and improve concentration during meditation or yoga.
To use Palo Santo sticks correctly, it is recommended to light one end and then blow out the flame, leaving it smoldering. While the smoke rises, you can focus on your intention—whether you want to cleanse a space, generate positive energy, or promote personal healing. It is important to practice mindfulness and experience the moment consciously.
