This pot holds the finely crumbled granules of authentic Peruvian Palo Santo holy wood in a larger 200 g format. We picked this size for homes where Palo Santo has become a small ritual – an evening read, a Sunday morning cleanup, a weekend meditation. With this pot on the shelf you will not need to reorder very often.
When the larger pot makes sense
If you already know the smaller pack and use the wood regularly in your home, the 200 g size is much more economical. Stored in a cool, dry place, the granules keep their gentle aroma for many months, so there is no rush to use it up.
Origin and sustainable gathering
Palo Santo (Bursera graveolens) grows in the dry forests of Peru. The Peruvian National Forest Service (SERFOR) certifies that the wood is taken only from naturally fallen branches, with no living trees being cut. This way you receive a product nature does not pay a price for.
Dosing and use, step by step
Place a charcoal disc in a heat-resistant burner and light it. Wait around half a minute until a thin white ash layer covers it. Sprinkle a small pinch, about half a teaspoon, on top. The smoke will appear after a few seconds. If you want a stronger scent, simply add another pinch later.
What the aroma is like
The scent is softly sweet, with a touch of citrus and dry wood. Its kind quality is that it does not push aside other smells – it fills the room gently. Many people describe it as a friendlier, fresher cousin of frankincense. It pairs well with a long calm evening of reading, a quiet weekend morning or relaxing after a warm bath.
Storage and safety
Keep the pot away from light and moisture so the aroma stays fresh longer. Always use a heat-resistant burner and never leave the glowing disc unattended. Keep it out of reach of children and pets, and ventilate the room from time to time so fresh air mingles with the soft fragrance.
