What is palochina?

Palochina, also known as "Palo Santo," is a type of wood derived from the Bursera graveolens tree, native to South America. It is often used for its aromatic properties, particularly in incense and essential oils, and is believed to possess healing and purifying qualities in various cultural practices. The wood is typically harvested sustainably after the tree has died naturally, ensuring minimal ecological impact. Palochina is popular in spiritual rituals and wellness applications, appreciated for its calming scent and potential benefits in meditation and relaxation.
