The “Palo Santo”, a name of Spanish origin, could be translated as “pau santo” or “madeira santa”. Used by healers, mystics and shamans in several Latin American countries and also by indigenous cultures in North America, Palo Santo has a sweet and mild aroma, ideal for purification rituals and replete with ancient energies present in peoples’ daily lives. Comparable to an American version of cinnamon, palo santo has been adopted over time by the “new” religions that have been arriving in the Americas. Native to the Andes and present in pre-Columbian civilizations from Peru to Mexico, Palo Santo is believed to act on human memory, invoking powerful memories and recovering long-lost ancestral energies.
