Peruvian Palo Santo Incense

Harvested in Peru through the 1980s, our Palo Santo is sourced exclusively from an old, stockpile of aged wood.

All Subtle Bodies incense sticks are pure wood products with no added perfume or fragrance. Each burns with a distinct, yet delicately scented smoke trail.

Palo Santo, which means "holy wood" in Spanish, is a sacred tree native to South America, primarily found in countries such as Peru, Ecuador, and Bolivia. It holds significant cultural and spiritual importance among various indigenous communities in the region. With a history dating back centuries, it is long intertwined with rituals, traditional medicine, and spiritual practice. As with any sacred plant or resource, it is essential to approach its use with respect, cultural sensitivity, and a commitment to sustainability.
