Palo santo incense carries the rich, resinous scent of sacred Peruvian holy wood — warm, sweet, slightly citrusy, and deeply grounding. It has been burned for centuries in South American shamanic and ceremonial practice to cleanse spaces, uplift the spirit, invite positive energy, and support meditation and prayer. For many modern practitioners, its scent alone signals the beginning of ritual.
Browse palo santo in stick form for the traditional burning experience, as well as incense cones and related products for different burn preferences. Unlike white sage, palo santo tends to burn quickly and produces a more intimate, focused cloud of smoke — perfect for personal cleansing, quick space resets, and pre-meditation preparation. Many practitioners use it to follow a sage cleanse with a more inviting, uplifting finish.
