Palo Santo is traditionally used as a natural remedy for colds and flu, as well as symptoms of stress. It is also known to relieve asthma, headaches, anxiety, depression, and reduce inflammation.
Similar to Sage and Cedar, Palo Santo is most widely used for spiritual purification and energy (house) cleansings. Once the wood sticks are burned, the smoke is believed to clear negative energy and restore tranquility and calm emotions.
Hold the tip (smallest end) of the Palo Santo pyramid horizontal over a flame. After it is lit, gently blow it out. Place the base of the cone onto an incense burner. No need to extinguish, the pyramid will burn itself out after about 20-25 minutes.
