Palo Santo (Bulnesia Sarmientoi) Bundle 'METATRON'
Palo Santo or "Holy Wood" is a sacred tree that grows on the coast of South America and in Mexico.
Traditionally this earthy scented wood was used by shamans, healers and elders in ritual prayer, purification ceremonies and for healing purposes. The ancients believed the tree had both magical and healing properties that would only be cultivated if the tree was allowed to live a full life and given a respectful death. They would only use wood from naturally fallen palo trees that had been lying peacefully for an extended period after which they were then dried, aged and eventually burned during rituals. The resulting sacred smoke bath was believed to have metaphysical properties that both purified negative energies and attracted positive ones. It is also well known for its healing properties ~
☼ Relieves headaches and helps with the common cold
☼ Reduces stress and anxiety
☼ Reduces inflammation and effects of allergies
The harvesting of Palo Santo wood is strictly regulated with the same guiding principles. The manufacturers ensure this holy wood is treated with respect and per required practice only uses naturally fallen trees that have been lying peacefully for between 4-10 years. In fact, every fallen tree taken is replaced with a seedling working towards continuously restoring the Palo Santo population.
Intent is everything and I offer this sacred wood with mindfulness, respect.

Two Species of Palo Santo?
Did you know that there are are two different species of trees that share the same common name: Bursera graveolens and Bulnesia sarmientoi ?
Bursera graveolens grows in Mexico, Central America
Bulnesia sarmientoi grows in Argentina, Paraguay, Brazil, and Bolivia.
The Bulnesia sarmientoi is the rumoured endanged species yet these two similar-sounding species are not only not the same tree, but are not botanically from the same family nor grow in the same area, the wood is not even the same colour.
In 2005, Peru listed Palo Santo as endangered due to overharvesting. The IUCN has declared as of now, Palo Santo to be “of least concern” on a global scale and not endangered.
