In these traditions, palo santo is said to carry a living spirit that lingers in the wood long after the tree has fallen, and is treated with reverence accordingly. It is a close botanical relative of frankincense and myrrh, sharing their warm, sacred character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTraditionally burned to \u003cstrong\u003ecleanse energy\u003c\/strong\u003e and clear a space, palo santo is lit briefly at one end, then blown out so the fragrant smoke can be carried through the room.
