The magic of Palo Santo is in the alchemical process that happens after the death of a limb or a tree. You see, in order for the Palo Santo to gain its magical and medicinal properties it must die, but ;not just any death – only a natural death of a wise old limb or tree. The Palo Santo trees live for 80 to 90 years. After this death the tree must remain in its natural habitat for 4 to 10 years to complete its metamorphosis. Only then do its sacred, medicinal and mystical properties come alive. Palo Santo has been used for thousands of years in Peru and Ecuador by shamans and healers. Travel today through the Andes Mountains you still find shamans, curanderos, and healers using Palo Santo as part of their ceremonies and healing rituals, evidence that its use more alive than ever in their culture. Increasingly the healing properties of Palo Santo are finding its way into the rest of the world as one of the truly great resins of Mother Earth.

Low quality
Not really good. I was excited when I got the package and took a deep inhale of the unlit wood sticks. The smell brings me right back to South America. But when lit, the predominant smell is just of regular wood smoke, like a campfire. There’s a slight undertone of Palo Santo, but not that ethereal perfume scent I recall. It doesn’t burn longer than 20 seconds, either. Maybe my package was older and the oils dried up, but I’m not satisfied with my purchase at all. I won’t burn it in the house. Cute pouch, though.

Not Bad, I wish the sticks were bigger
The sticks are rather small which is a disappointment, but the scent is wonderful same as the other Palo Santo stick that I had. The last stick that I had was rather thick and I was able to use about 3 times before using it all. With these I use my sticks while I am praying and I have gone thru 2 sticks already. So I will be trying to search for other sticks and maybe thicker ones as well. Other than that I am satisfied with what I paid for. I also have to keep lighting it more so than the other stick that I had. So buy at your own risk. For the people who light it and don't mind it going out, you should be fine. I like for mine to continually burn while I am praying, this wouldn't work for those people.

Not all palo santo.
Although the scent is ok, this is not true palo santo. This is mostly wood that was treated with palo santo oil. I loved the price of course, but it’s disappointing to spend money on something claiming to be authentic just to find it’s not. Not all of them were fake. I have had 3 so far that we’re ok, but I have had 3 of the 7 used so far that we’re clearly treated with oils. Not sure if this is the vendors problem or the supplier, but it’s discouraging regardless.

These are the real deal
I’ve been buying holy wood for years and these are by far the absolute best palo santo sticks I’ve ever bought. Fast delivery and they come in a cute little canvas pouch too. I’m buying more right now before they run out.

Palo Santo sticks in a bag.
Not much scent from these. Still looking for a decent supplier of high aroma sticks. I’m running low on my stash of the good stuff! Oh well.... shipping was fast as usual = Thanks

Dangerous! Fire hazard
These were horrible! They spark like crazy!!! Very dangerous!! I threw them out! I used a few and they were fine. But about half the bag, at least 7of them! They sparked and went it my hair and on my carpet! They had some type of sap sizzling and burning on the wood, that it was causing sparks of flames to fly out in every direction. I tried to be very careful with them, but they were too dangerous! So much so, that I am never buying this type of wood again! I am getting regular incense sticks.

Good product.
I like these sticks. It does smell like Palo Santo to me, and that lovely aroma lingers for quite a while. I always feel better after using same -- whether for environment or personal use. Good price. Do wish the sticks were a little fatter, but they are a decent size. Think the price is very reasonable.

Sadly surprised
The product doesn't reflect the description - Only three full length sticks and then a few half pieces. The smell of the Incense is very delicate; it is difficult to tell that the incense is burning in the house.I wouldn't buy it again! - Sorry! I Feel rip-off looking at the product received and how much I paid:-(

Low scent and burn oddly
I'm not convinced these are actual palo santo but rather treated with palo santo oil as someone else had mentioned. The scent is very strong and they are difficult to burn. I won't be buying these again as there was another brand I found on Amazon before that was less sticks. more expensive but lasted a long time, burned amazing and smelled divine.

Not good quality
When they first arrived, they smelled nice but the smell wears away. I think in the whole bag, there were only two small actual palo santo wood. The rest seemed like regular wood and smelled like a campfire when lit. Doesn't burn for long either. Not happy with this purchase. If I was within the return window, this would be going straight back. And definitely would not purchase again.
