In the Amerindian tradition, healers use Palo Santo during fumigation rituals. Its woody and balsamic aromas are known to purify the atmosphere and bring peace and harmony. Palo Santo belongs to the same botanical family as Myrrh and Olibanum. It promotes concentration and meditation. Directions for use: - Grasp the end of a Palo Santo stick with one hand and tilt it downwards at 45°. In this way, it will light up more easily without burning your fingers. - Then light the other end. - Let the flame bloom for 30 seconds to a minute, then shake the stick to extinguish the flame and activate the embers. - Stick the Palo Santo stick into an incense holder with sand. Palo Santo is not burnt in one go, it must be relit 1 or 2 times, i.e. 3 to 6 minutes of combustion, to obtain a sufficiently powerful and long-lasting fragrance in your room. One stick can therefore be used about thirty times. Sachet of 25 grams.
