Use a lighter to ignite your Palo Santo stick, allowing it to burn for approximately one minute. Waft the smoke around the desired area or anywhere else you desire clear energy. From there, you may place the stick in an incense burner and leave to smolder. When burned, the smoke is believed to provide medicinal and therapeutic healing energies, giving you a more profound connection to your being.

Once finished, deposit the used stick in a bowl of metal, glass or clay, where it will eventually burn out. Please remember to exercise caution when working with fire.

Smudging is a ritual through which we cleanse the energy of a physical space, object or person. Begin with a clear and simple intention. Once you have your intention firmly in mind, light the Palo Santo stick as per the instructions above. Walk around the area, fanning the smoke and focusing on clearing away negative energy as the Palo Santo stick burns down.

Luna Sundara. All  products are sustainably sourced and harvested from local communities in Peru and Ecuador. They continually work to expand their practice, and hope to one day work with artisanal communities throughout all of South America.

All  Palo Santo products are wildcrafted and sustainably harvested. Because Palo Santo wood can only be harvested after it has naturally fallen and left to dry for some time, we extract the product from Ecuadorian and Peruvian reserves. At Luna Sundara, we responsibly distill our Palo Santo essential oil in a way that promotes the sustainability and reforestation of the tree itself. This ultimately respects the sanctity of the wood and allows for its continued growth. Palo Santo is one of many wildcrafted botanicals offered at Luna Sundara. We exclusively utilize these botanicals as a means of supporting the social and economic welfare of local communities, ensuring the highest quality products possible and creating meaningful relationships with those around us.
