Palo Santo aka Holy wood

It was used for purifying and cleansing and to get rid of evil spirits, misfortune and calamity. It also has some skin-healing properties. The Palo Santo has often been used in Ayahuasca ceremonies.

One interesting property of Bulnesia sarmientoi is that unlike conventional incense, it doesn’t burn completely after lighting. Instead, it can be lit many times producing a fragrant smoke.
