This palo santo stick is quite large in size. It measures around 13cm in length and more than 2 cm in width. Palo santo which means "holy wood" is also known to relieve headaches, asthma, anxiety, depression, and reduce inflammation and stress levels. It is traditionally used to treat colds. It is also said to clear negative thoughts and negative energy, and is considered a powerful supporter of emotional clarity. Palo Santo belongs to the same botanical family as frankincense and myrrh, and is obtained only after the natural death of the tree which must lay on the ground for 3 to 6 years before the wood is harvested. 

use: matches or a candle to light the palo santo wood, then blow out the flame

Please note that each palo santo wood is a nature-sourced piece - so that the form and colour may vary. Due to some confusions regarding palo santo, we would like to mention that IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) released a review of bursera graveolens’s conservation status and declared it “of least concern.” So, palo santo is not endangered :)
