I recently added burning Palo santo and walking around my home to my morning routine and I love it.
Palo santo, aka “holy wood” or “wood of the saints”, is from over 40 different types of trees grown worldwide, mostly throughout Central and South America. They produce beneficial antioxidant-rich oils that are used worldwide. These oils are used in aromatherapy, are known for fighting inflammation and stimulating the immune system.
Another use of palo santo’s aroma is, it’s said to rid the “bad energy. Clear negative thought prints and evil spirits”. You’ll often find someone doing this when they move into a new place, ridding the space of the old inhabitant and their aura.

Yes, I added this to my morning routine a few weeks ago. I moved into a new house last year and someone gifted me Palo Santo as a house warming gift. I saw you using this in your stories and decided to give it a try. For me, it triggers my mindset to start the day with gratitude and love.
