Palo Santo: What makes this holy wood so special?

Have you ever wondered what the magic behind Palo Santo is? This sacred wood, which comes from the mystical landscapes of Peru, is more than just an aromatic treasure - it is a spiritual journey.

In the heart of Peru, Palo Santo trees have been revered for centuries. Known as "sacred wood," Palo Santo is traditionally used in spiritual rituals by indigenous communities to cleanse negative energies and promote healing. This deep-rooted tradition transforms each Palo Santo stick into a powerful tool for cleansing and renewal.

What makes our Palo Santo so special is its authentic Peruvian heritage. The unique climate and soils of Peru give each stick a distinctive scent that develops as it burns. Expect a rich, sweet aroma with citrus and mint notes that creates a calming and grounding atmosphere.

At yardin zayel we rely on sustainable sourcing practices. Our Palo Santo is harvested exclusively from naturally fallen branches and trees to respect the environment and the traditional practices of local communities. According to a study by the Universidad Nacional de San Marcos, Palo Santo requires at least three to four years of drying time to develop its optimal aromatic and spiritual properties. Palo Santo is not felled, but harvested sustainably. The trees must die and fall naturally before the wood is collected. This practice protects the living trees and promotes the natural regeneration of the forest. The harvested branches and trunks are then stored for several years, often up to ten years, to fully develop the aromatic substances. This long drying time is essential for the quality and energetic properties of the wood.
