Where Are Palo Santo Sticks From?

A Sacred Origin, A Powerful Ritual

If you’ve ever held a Palo Santo stick in your hand and wondered, “Where does this come from?”—you’re not alone. These fragrant, sacred wood sticks have taken center stage in modern energy cleansing, but their roots run deep in South American tradition.

At Sola PNW, we believe rituals should be intentional and rooted in meaning. That’s why we source our Palo Santo with care—so every time you light a stick, you’re connecting to centuries of healing practice and natural purity.

Palo Santo: From the Heart of South America

Palo Santo (Spanish for “holy wood”) comes from the Bursera graveolens tree, native to countries like Peru, Ecuador, and parts of Brazil. The tree is considered sacred by many Indigenous cultures and has been used for generations in spiritual ceremonies, energy healing, and even natural medicine.

But here’s the beautiful part: true Palo Santo sticks are made only from fallen wood—never harvested from living trees. After resting on the forest floor for years, the wood naturally matures and becomes rich in the oils that give it its signature scent and purifying properties.

When you burn Palo Santo, you're not just lighting a stick—you’re honoring an ancient ecosystem and tapping into the power of Earth-aligned healing.

How to Use Palo Santo for Energy Cleansing

At Sola PNW, we offer ethically sourced Palo Santo so you can cleanse your space with intention and respect. Each stick is meant to be lit, gently blown out, and waved to allow the smoke to move through your home, workspace, or energy field.

Here’s how we recommend using it:

• Light the tip until it catches flame
  
  

• Blow it out gently to create a steady stream of smoke
  
  

• Walk through your space while setting a clear intention
  
  

• Let the scent shift the mood and energy around you

Why Palo Santo Is More Than a Trend

Too often, wellness trends are stripped of their roots and repackaged for aesthetics. But Palo Santo is not a trend—it’s a living tradition. At Sola PNW, we respect the sacred lineage of this plant and ensure that our offerings align with its spiritual and ecological significance.

That’s why our Palo Santo is:

• Sustainably harvested from naturally fallen wood
  
  

• Sourced through ethical, community-based partnerships
  
  

• Hand-cut and minimally processed for maximum potency
  
  

We believe in honoring the Earth and the cultures that care for it—and we know our customers do too.
