When we’re trying to promote a sense of calm or restore good energy in a space, there’s one sacred wood we turn to. Palo santo or Bursera graveolens is a tree that’s native to Peru, Ecuador, and other South American countries, according to Healthline. It grows in dry tropical forests and produces a resin that is very fragrant. In the Spanish language, it also means “holy wood.” For many years, wood, resin, and oil have also been used for medicinal purposes and to ward off insects. We’re absolutely addicted to the smell of this incredible natural wood and love using it in many different forms. We’ve rounded up some of our favorite and the best palo santo products for you.
