She is a powerhouse for cleansing and centering, protection and vibe elevation. The use of palo santo from Bursera graveolens is traditional in South America, especially in Peru and Ecuador. According to the local customs, it is used against the "mala energía" (bad energy) ("Palo santo para limpiar tu casa de la mala energia, palo santo para la buena suerte" or "Palo santo to clean your house of bad energy, palo santo for good luck"), which may sometimes refer to clinical disease. Its use reportedly dates back to the Inca era. Palo santo oil was used during the time of the Incas for its reputed spiritual purifying properties. Today, palo santo oil may be applied to the body (such as at the base of the skull or on the spine) to increase relaxation, similar to aromatherapy.

Although millions of Americans regularly use scented products without any negative effects, it is always possible that a particular fragrance might trigger a negative reaction in a very small percentage of sensitive individuals. Individuals with known sensitivities to specific fragrances may want to avoid products of those scents. In addition, consumers should remember to burn all candles, whether scented or unscented, in a well-ventilated area and test skincare products in a small area before use.
