Its name means \"holy wood\" in Spanish, and it has long been burned in South American folk traditions to clear a space and to accompany prayer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs your palo santo ethically sourced?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Our palo santo is cut only from trees that have fallen and dried naturally; living trees are never cut for it. This is also how the wood develops its fragrance: the aromatic oils mature as the fallen wood dries over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow many sticks are in a pack?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePalo santo is sold by weight, and there are about 3 to 4 sticks in every 25 g.
