Heart-opening incense

We offer several types of boxes with a single incense or a combination of holy incense.

Below are two chapters, common to all our boxes, dealing with the origins, tradition and how to use Palo Santo and White Sage. The Palo Santo cones being attached to Palo Santo wood but with a simpler use inspired by an incense stick and a sweeter aroma.

These are rather long chapters to read which aim to introduce in detail these two purifying incenses to people who do not yet know them. But above all to emphasize the sacred character of these two natural incenses used for millennia by shamans and healers.

From experience, I know that this awareness engenders respect, in everyone who knows, for the peoples and traditions who have transmitted their knowledge to us. It makes it understandable, legitimate and natural, to connect to the vegetable soul of these two sacred essences during the ritual and to thank her at the end.

How is Palo Santo wood harvested?

Our Palo Santo sticks come exclusively from dead branches, dead wood and trees that die naturally. During this process of decomposition, the tree is compressed, secreting its oil and acquiring its medicinal and aromatic properties. The tree remains unharvested for three to four years. Cutting down a Palo Santo tree without the decay process will not provide the same benefits.

Buy and use Palo Santo sustainably

The Palo Santo has been a victim of its aroma, very popular for making fruit crates, especially for mangoes to which it gives a particular taste. To do this, healthy tree felling is necessary. As human drift grew, growing demand became intolerable, Bursera graveolens became a protected species.

Only fallen branches can be harvested and it is, for what interests us, that after a few years the wood develops its ethereal qualities. However, we must be aware that there are still illegal logging operations in South America and the country least affected by this calamity remains Peru.

The Palo Santo in all its forms, sold by Achamana, comes from stakeholders who are members of the Peruvian national reforestation program which includes an ecological component and a social component for the rural communities.
