'White Sage & Palo Santo’ Native Soul Incense Joss Sticks

This White Sage and Palo Santo Native Soul Incense has been blended perfectly together to create a calming atmosphere whilst restoring balance to the mind and soul.

White Sage has been considered sacred for thousands of years by Native Americans. They have been using it to drive away bad energy, cleanse and purify persons, objects and places, through the technique of smudging.

Palo Santo is a wild tree that grows in the Amazon rainforests of Ecuador and Peru.

This "Holy Wood" belongs to the same family as Copal, Myrrh and Frankincense.

Indigenous Shamans have been using its woods, leaves and oil to heal the body and soul, purify spaces, clear negative energies and for meditation for hundreds of years.

The balsamic and herbal scent of Palo Santo has calming and soothing properties and carries a powerful energy of healing and purification.

Made from a blend of delicate herbs and spices, these incense sticks create a mystical cloud of holy smoke that creates positive energies and fills the room with a scent that is both cleansing and calming.

Why is Palo Santo problematic? Palo Santo has been added to the Convention on International Trade's Endangered Species List due to the increased demand. This tree requires proper harvesting methods, which includes allowing the trees to die naturally and laying them on the forest floor. All our Palo Santo comes from ethical and sustainable plantations that care and preserve the future of this popular incense. The word organic is tricky. Plantations tend to not desire to pay for these style of licence to proof what is natural to them.
