Of course, this is not the scientific name of this particular plant, which grows <strong>spontaneously<\/strong> in Central and South America, but is also <strong>cultivated<\/strong> precisely for its extraordinary properties. Its true name is <em>Bursera graveolens<\/em>, and it has always been used by South American peoples, who regard it as a kind of <strong>sacred tree<\/strong>. Europeans discovered it at the beginning of the 1800s, and the scholars who first catalogued it decided to give it this evocative nickname because Palo Santo <strong>blossoms on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.holyart.com\/christmas\">Christmas<\/a> Day<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>After centuries of indiscriminate exploitation, today Palo Santo <strong>is a protected plant<\/strong>. In fact, its <strong>aromatic-scented wood<\/strong>, which makes it so valuable, depends on many factors, ranging from the chemical composition of the soil, to the age of the tree, to the way the wood itself is harvested. For Palo Santo wood to reach its best fragrance, the tree from which it is taken must already be at least ten years old. Furthermore, the branches that are collected must have already fallen by themselves and must have dried naturally on the ground, where they are enriched by <strong>various fungi and lichens<\/strong>. Thus, in Palo Santo cultivation, one waits for the trees to <strong>die naturally<\/strong>, <strong>leaves them on the ground<\/strong> for 4\u201310 years, and then they are collected. At this point, <strong>new trees are planted<\/strong>, while the harvested wood is processed through a natural <strong>distillation method called steam distillation<\/strong>, which is used to treat substances that degrade at temperatures close to their boiling point. This makes the process particularly suitable for the <strong>production of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.holyart.com\/monastery-products\/cosmetics-essential-oils\/essential-oils\">essential oils<\/a><\/strong> and natural aromatic compounds. In practice, water or steam is introduced into the distillation column to lower the boiling point of the substances, and if this is not sufficient, the process is carried out under vacuum, until optimal conditions are achieved to separate the water from the active principles.<\/p>\n<div class=\"link-product\">\n<div class=\"blocco-immagine\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7733 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.holyart.it\/com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/01\/essential-oils.jpg\" alt=\"essential oils\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" data-kale-share-title=\"Palo Santo: Properties and Benefits of Its Precious Wood\" data-kale-share-url=\"https:\/\/blog.holyart.it\/com\/?p=7729\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"blocco-contenuto\">\n<div class=\"blocco-acquista\">Buy Now:<\/div>\n<div class=\"blocco-titolo\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.holyart.com\/monastery-products\/cosmetics-essential-oils\/essential-oils\">Essential oils<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"blocco-descrizione\">Essential oils produced with natural products in the Antica Farmacia di Camaldoli.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Let us discover how to use Palo Santo and how this special wood is employed in the production of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.holyart.com\/consumable-material-consumables\/incenses\"><strong>natural incense<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>The Properties of Palo Santo<\/h2>\n<p>We have said that in its countries of origin Palo Santo is considered a <strong>sacred, magical plant<\/strong>. It has been used for millennia <strong>to drive away negative energies<\/strong>, <strong>evil spirits<\/strong>, but also <strong>to prevent illnesses<\/strong> caused by these energies and spirits. In this case, we are talking about mental illnesses such as <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.holyart.com\/blog\/religious-items\/prayer-against-depression-to-our-lady-of-smile\/\">sadness, depression, low spirits<\/a>,<\/strong> which according to local populations are often caused by <em>mala energ<\/em><em>\u00eda<\/em> or by the <em>planga blanca<\/em>, \u201can energy that cannot be seen, heard, touched, and has no smell\u201d\u2014a kind of <strong>evil eye<\/strong>, so to speak.<\/p>\n<div class=\"link-article\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7734 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.holyart.it\/com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/01\/Prayer-against-depression-to-Our-Lady-of-Smile.jpg\" alt=\"Prayer against depression to Our Lady of Smile\" width=\"150\" height=\"99\" data-kale-share-title=\"Palo Santo: Properties and Benefits of Its Precious Wood\" data-kale-share-url=\"https:\/\/blog.holyart.it\/com\/?p=7729\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"leggi-anche\">Read more:<\/div>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.holyart.com\/blog\/religious-items\/prayer-against-depression-to-our-lady-of-smile\/\">Prayer against depression to Our Lady of Smile<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\nHow was prayer against depression born and who was the first to manifest his devotion&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Burning Palo Santo<\/strong> is a way <strong>to purify domestic environments<\/strong> from these negative energies, but at the same time its aromatic smoke <strong>keeps mosquitoes and other insects away<\/strong>, whose bites are often the cause of real diseases, and even vampire bats. The Palo Santo that is burned for this type of use is also called <em>Sahumerio<\/em>, a Spanish word meaning incense, also used for other types of aromatic wood that are burned. Its fragrance makes it suitable for <strong>meditation<\/strong>, or simply for <strong>fighting bad odours<\/strong> in domestic spaces. Palo Santo shavings are also used for fumigation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>From the bark and resin<\/strong> of Palo Santo, <em>Lynpha de Palo Santo<\/em> is extracted, an <strong>essential oil<\/strong> with extraordinary soothing properties, used as a remedy for <strong>skin diseases<\/strong>. The resin is also used as a <strong>disinfectant<\/strong> and as a cure for tooth decay and <strong>toothache<\/strong>. <em>Ag\u00fcita<\/em> is instead a <strong>herbal tea<\/strong> obtained from Palo Santo and used as a <strong>remedy for respiratory illnesses, urinary tract disorders, intestinal problems<\/strong>, but also as a cure for<strong> low spirits<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Burn Palo Santo<\/h2>\n<p>To burn Palo Santo while maintaining the qualities of the resin and essential oils it contains, and thus obtaining the best fragrance, a special method must be used. Palo Santo is sold in the form of <strong>small sticks<\/strong>, all more or less the same length and thickness. This too serves to ensure optimal preservation of the resins and essential oils during combustion.<\/p>\n<div class=\"link-product\">\n<div class=\"blocco-immagine\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7735 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.holyart.it\/com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/01\/incenses.jpg\" alt=\"incenses\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" data-kale-share-title=\"Palo Santo: Properties and Benefits of Its Precious Wood\" data-kale-share-url=\"https:\/\/blog.holyart.it\/com\/?p=7729\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"blocco-contenuto\">\n<div class=\"blocco-acquista\">Buy Now:<\/div>\n<div class=\"blocco-titolo\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.holyart.com\/consumable-material-consumables\/incenses\">Incenses<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"blocco-descrizione\">All the incenses are suitable both for a domestic and for a church use.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>For the same reason, we must never expose the wood to a flame that is too intense, which would end up carbonising it: it should not be the flame that consumes Palo Santo wood, but the <strong>embers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Light a lighter, bring it close to the wood and start burning it gently. Palo Santo wood will need about 30 seconds of contact with the flame to start burning evenly. Then <strong>extinguish the flame, blow on the wood<\/strong>, which will have started to release a <strong>characteristic white smoke<\/strong>. If the smoke is black, however, it means you are burning too many essential oils and spoiling the aromatic quality of Palo Santo.<br \/>\nIf you feel that the wood is going out, <strong>blow<\/strong> on it again, but avoid using the flame once more, to prevent carbonising the Palo Santo. Use the wood<strong> to spread the smoke around the room<\/strong> and then let it extinguish naturally. The \u201choly stick\u201d <strong>can be reused many times<\/strong>; just store it in a fireproof container.<\/p>\n<h2>Palo Santo Incense<\/h2>\n<p>In our online store you will find Palo Santo sticks to be burned as incense. There is the practical <strong>30-gram pack of sticks<\/strong> collected by local populations at least four years after the natural fall of the tree and after the resin, enriched by fungi and mucilage from the soil, has covered and infused the sticks with the characteristic aroma, or <strong>the 40-gram pack<\/strong>, with slightly larger sticks.<\/p>\n<div class=\"link-product\">\n<div class=\"blocco-immagine\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7736 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.holyart.it\/com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/01\/palo-santo-incense-40-45-g.jpg\" alt=\"palo santo incense 40-45 g\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" data-kale-share-title=\"Palo Santo: Properties and Benefits of Its Precious Wood\" data-kale-share-url=\"https:\/\/blog.holyart.it\/com\/?p=7729\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"blocco-contenuto\">\n<div class=\"blocco-acquista\">Buy Now:<\/div>\n<div class=\"blocco-titolo\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.holyart.com\/consumable-material-consumables\/incenses\/palo-santo-incense-40-45-g\">Palo Santo incense 40-45 g<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"blocco-descrizione\">Stick incense of Palo Santo from Bursera Graveolens, in approximatly 40 g package.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>In both cases you will need to light the tip of the stick and, once it has caught, extinguish the flame.
