PALO SANTO means "Holy Wood" and is used in cleansing and purifying rituals in much the same way as White Sage Smudge. It is a wonderful, deeply aromatic wood which has been used by the Incas and people of the Andes for many centuries. It's purpose is to purify and cleanse, to get rid of evil spirits and influences and it's smoke is believed by many to have healing and therapeutic powers. This material is from Peru.
WHITE SAGE smudge sticks is ideal for cleansing negative energy, attracting positive energy and light when emotionally or spiritually tired or lacking motivation, ridding yourself of other people’s negative emotional energy (stress, anger, envy, anxiety, or bad intentions), and rejuvenation and renewal to start fresh after moving into a new home, after overcoming adversity, after an argument or after illness. You can smudge your home, work place, car, yoga studio, yourself, pets, or loved ones.
SWEETGRASS smudge stick is a sweet, long-lasting aroma that attracts good spirits and positive energies and reminds us of Mother Earth’s provision. It helps tap into wisdom learned through incarnation, elevates consciousness, and connects with higher entities, spirits, and angels.
