Why We Love Palo Santo: The Sacred Wood of Cleansing, Healing, and Spiritual Connection
At The Mystical Moon, we believe that every sacred tool carries a vibration — and few are as beloved and spiritually potent as Palo Santo. Known as “Holy Wood”, Palo Santo has been used for centuries by shamans, healers, and mystics across South America for its deeply purifying and uplifting properties. Whether you’re seeking energetic protection, emotional balance, or a tool to deepen your spiritual practice, Palo Santo is a gentle but powerful ally.
🌿 What Is Palo Santo?
Palo Santo comes from the Bursera graveolens tree, native to regions like Peru and Ecuador. Traditionally harvested only after the wood has naturally fallen and aged for several years, this sacred process ensures that the wood’s oils are rich, fragrant, and energetically charged. When burned or used in oil or spray form, Palo Santo releases a warm, resinous aroma with notes of citrus and mint — instantly calming the mind and lifting the spirit.
