This is the quality from the Manabì region of Ecuador. Palo Santo from this region thrives in a favorable environment: the soil is not very rocky and temperature changes are nicer, and the climatic and environmental conditions are affected by the proximity of the sea. These factors make the aroma of this quality more citrusy and balsamic.
How to use the Palo Santo stick:
Using Palo Santo is very simple, you just need some practice:
1. Light the Palo Santo stick.
2. Keep the flame lit on the stick for a couple of seconds and then extinguish it. Be careful not to keep the flame lit for too long otherwise you risk burning the resin contained inside the Palo Santo stick.
3. If the flame goes out on its own after a few seconds, don't worry, that's how it's supposed to work.
4. Once the flame is out, blow on the coating of embers that forms on the top of the stick.
5. The smoke that the stick gives off into the air is the essence and aroma of Palo Santo. The vibrations it spreads create a clean environment that promotes relaxation and introspection
