Alternative Imagination Palo Santo Holy Wood Sticks 6 Pack

Overview

Six palo santo wood sticks from Alternative Imagination, each about 4 inches long and a half inch wide, cut from naturally fallen and aged Bursera graveolens wood rather than harvested live trees.

Palo santo is sold as wood sticks rather than incense sticks, so it is typically lit briefly and then blown out to smolder rather than left to burn continuously like standard incense. Alternative Imagination markets the sourcing as wild harvested from fallen wood, with part of each sale funding new tree planting. The six-stick count is a small quantity, sized for occasional smudging rather than daily use.

• 6 palo santo wood sticks
• About 4 inches long, 0.5 inch wide each
• Sourced from naturally fallen Bursera graveolens
• Pairs with sage, sweetgrass or crystals for smudging kits

Who it's for

Suits buyers who want a small palo santo supply to pair with sage or other smudging tools, or who are trying the wood for the first time. Less suited to frequent daily burners, since six sticks will not last through regular use.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

Because these are raw wood sticks rather than pressed incense, size and grain vary from stick to stick since they come from naturally fallen wood rather than a uniform mold. Burning wood sticks generally means lighting the end, letting it flame briefly, then blowing it out so it smolders, unlike a standard incense stick that burns continuously once lit.
