Palo Santo: Clients often ask us, "What smells so good?" when coming into our clinic. The smell is that of Palo Santo incense, created from the fallen limbs of thousand-year-old sacred trees of the Peruvian jungle. It has been used for centuries by the Incas for purification and to get rid of evil spirits, misfortune, and calamity. Palo Santo is not your usual stick incense. It's a set of four-inch pieces of aromatic wood from the Amazonian region of South America. Light it, blow it out, and enjoy the aroma. Each burning will last from 1 - 5 minutes. Walk from room to room and scent your home with this subtle, sweet scent, or let it smolder atop an ashtray. Split each stick into 2 or 3 pieces (3/4in. wide) to make them last longer.
