Think twice about your next palo santo purchase.
Ah, the burnt, slightly minty aroma of palo santo. No, it isn’t some hipster strand of THC selling out in your nearest dispensary, but it is lit, in the most literal sense. If the name doesn’t sound familiar, I can confirm it’s been hiding in plain sight or so unassuming that you never bothered to ask what it was.

The use of Palo Santo originates from indigenous peoples of several nations of South America, including Peru, Colombia, Bolivia, Paraguay, and northern Argentina. It traces back to pre-Colombian cultures, including the Inca and the Tihuanaco.
Consider this: while we use it to clear away bad energy in our personal space, we may be contributing to negative impacts in the countries and cultures where it originates. Ironic, don’t you think? The good news is that there are alternatives to commercial Palo Santo that you can use in your home and office, some of which can even be grown in your own garden if you’ve got a green thumb.
The Guilt-Free Way to Buy It If you are distraught by the idea of potentially contributing to deforestation of Palo Santo, but would still like to implement energy-clearing practices, you can continue to purchase Certified Sustainable Palo Santo. By ensuring your Palo Santo is sustainably sourced, it helps to contribute to the culturally-respectful sustainable development of communities that harvest the tree using traditional practices.
Another initiative that protects the Palo Santo is Nature and Culture International’s Palo Santo Project. The project, initiated by the Bolívar Tello Community Association helps to manage and market Palo Santo to companies, like Florocopeia while using sustainable practices.
