When smudged, it releases a distinctively warm, slightly sweet, and balsamic fragrance that immediately creates a relaxed, cozy atmosphere in any room.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eScope of delivery:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 sticks each\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThis special incense is harvested from the Palo Santo tree (\u003ci data-path-to-node=\"2\" data-index-in-node=\"64\"\u003eBursera graveolens\u003c\/i\u003e), which is native to the dry forests of South America, particularly in Peru and Ecuador. Botanically, it is closely related to frankincense and myrrh. The fascinating thing about this wood is how it is formed: for traditional Palo Santo, a tree is never felled. Only when branches fall to the ground naturally and rest and age there for several years do the valuable essential oils form inside the wood, carrying that very magical scent.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eTraditionally, Palo Santo is used by the indigenous peoples and shamans of the Andes for spiritual cleansing rituals. Smudging is said to drive away negative energies, clear the mind and soul, and attract deep harmony. Using it is wonderfully uncomplicated: you light one end of the wood, let the small flame burn for about 30 to 60 seconds, and then gently blow it out. The now-smoldering wood releases its clarifying smoke. You can walk through the room with it or place it in a safe spot where it will slowly extinguish on its own.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\n\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"554\"\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"554\"\u003eA little tip: For exactly this purpose, you can also find my matching Palo Santo burner made of Paulownia wood here in the shop. Your piece of wood can rest safely on it and, thanks to the gentle heat of a tea light, continue to smolder steadily and all by itself without you having to relight it. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/pflanzenwelten-heinek.de\/products\/palo-santo-brenner?_pos=1\u0026amp;_psq=palo\u0026amp;_psid=6b166dfb3\u0026amp;_ss=e\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eTo the product...\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eIt is precisely these ancient, nature-oriented rituals that fascinate me so much and make this incense wood such a valuable addition to my assortment.
