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. Stick sizes vary because each one is cut from natural wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does palo santo smell like?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSweet, woody and slightly resinous, with notes of citrus, mint and pine. Its smoke is lighter and sweeter than that of sage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePalo santo or sage: which should I choose?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth are traditionally burned to cleanse a space. \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/herbs-incense\"\u003eSage\u003c\/a\u003e gives a stronger, herbal smoke; palo santo gives a sweeter, gentler one that many prefer for everyday use and smaller rooms. Some people use both: sage for a thorough cleanse, palo santo afterwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs palo santo the same as sandalwood?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Sandalwood (chandan) comes from the \u003cem\u003eSantalum album\u003c\/em\u003e tree and is mostly used as a paste or in incense. Palo santo comes from a different tree, is burned as a stick, and has a sweeter, citrusy aroma.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long does a palo santo stick last?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause it is burned for a short while and then put out, one stick can be relit many times, until it becomes too short to hold safely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow should I store palo santo?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep it in a closed box or pouch, in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, so it keeps its fragrance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e We neither guarantee, nor claim any of the said benefits.
