Used for centuries by Native Americans in purifying rituals and cleansing ceremonies, the distinct clean scent of white sage is believed to drive away any bad sprits. Palo Santo or 'Holy Wood' is the name given to the wood of Bursera Graveolens, a wild tree native to South America. Palo Santo wood is used in the same way as white sage to cleanse negative energies and heal the body and soul.
