Palo santo is a very different smudge than white sage. The scent is sweeter, rounder, and more mellow. It’s also a lighter burn. To work with this palo santo smudge stick, light one end of the wood. It will self-extinguish. Then, fan the smoke around you or your space to clear stagnant energies. This palo santo smudge stick will last you a very long time, even if you burn it regularly. Palo santo makes an amazing gift to anyone who is unwell or needs the clearing properties this important magical tool brings. Always burn on an abalone shell or heat-proof surface. I hope you come to enjoy the use of this sacred wood as much as I do!
