Palo Santo & Cedar Smudge Sticks (Approximately 4") – Spiritual Uses

These smudge sticks are a blend of two powerful botanicals: Palo Santo (Holy Wood) and Cedar, both deeply rooted in indigenous and spiritual practices. When combined, they create a grounding, purifying, and protective energy. Here’s a breakdown of their spiritual uses:

🌿 Palo Santo (Bursera graveolens)

  • Purification: Clears stagnant or negative energy, often used before meditation or rituals.

  • Uplifting: Promotes a sense of calm, peace, and mental clarity.
