Palo Santo or Sacred Wood

Palo Santo (Burseara Graveolens) is a wild mystical tree that grows along the coasts of South America. It is in the same category as Myrrh and Frankincense. It grows up to 15 m in height. What Sandalwood is to India, Palo Santo is to South America. The name (in Spanish) Palo Santo means sacred wood and it couldn't be more fitting for it. The magic of Palo Santa is in the alchemical process that occurs when a tree or part of it dies. The tree usually lives for 80 to 90 years. After it dies, it must age in its natural environment for 4 to 10 years to complete its transformation. Only then do its medicinal and mystical properties develop and it truly becomes sacred wood. Palo Santo has been used by shamans and healers in Peru and Ecuador for thousands of years. It is still used for these purposes in the Andes mountains today. Its wonderful properties have taken it around the world in recent years as one of Mother Earth's greatest fragrant treasures. Its operation extends to both the physical and metaphysical worlds.
