In various cultures around the world, juniper has been known as a protector tree. Throughout its mythology, it is found protecting travelers and sheltering people in danger. In the Biblical story, during their escape to Egypt, Jesus and his family hid under a juniper tree when King Herod’s soldiers pursued them. And, in the Old Testament, when the prophet Elijah fled Queen Jezebel, it was a mystical juniper tree that safeguarded and hid him, keeping him safe while he rested in preparation to cross the desert to Mount Sinai. Native Americans and Tibetans have used juniper incense in ceremonies and as traditional medicine for millennia. It has been widely burned since antiquity as a fumigant to stave off viruses and plagues of sickness all over the Mediterranean and surrounding regions. It has also been a symbol of strength, fertility, and longevity for centuries.

Palo Santo is an aromatic wood used for thousands of years as a healing incense by Shamans and the ancient Incas. Today, Palo Santo continues to be sustainably harvested in the dry forests of Ecuador and Peru. Harvesting occurs only after the tree has died and laid untouched in its natural habitat for several years. This process permits the sacred, medicinal and mystical properties of the wood to manifest. Palo Santo is gaining global awareness for its healing qualities. Palo Santo has a citrus aroma with underlying hints of frankincense. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of our Palo Santo is dedicated to replanting Palo Santo trees. Sold individually.
