Palo Santo Incense ~PERU~ (Burseara Graveolens) Palo Santo or "Holy Stick" is a natural wood aromatic incense used for centuries by the Incas and indigenous people of the Andes as a spiritual remedy for purifying and cleansing; to get rid of evil spirits and misfortune; as well as for medicinal purposes. Palo Santo is also used: as an insect repellent, for colds, asthma, allergies, stress, anxiety, sea sickness, migrane, arthritis, neck aches, meditation and relaxation. Unlike conventional incense which burns completely after lighting, Palo Santo may be relit many times. When lighting, allow the wood to burn for 20-30 seconds, then blow out the flame.
