Palo santo is a tree found on the coast of South America. According to local customs, the smoke emitted when the wood is burnt is thought to remove negative energy, and be incredibly calming and soothing. These palo santo sticks are made from only naturally dead branches and trunks, which are collected without cutting down any living trees or damaging the surrounding area. The goal of our supplier is to regenerate the wild forest where the trees grow, contributing to the preservation of ethnobotanical knowledge and supporting local economic development.

They are accompanied by a glazed Leach Pottery bowl, which is hand-thrown. Leach Pottery co-founder Bernard Leach is regarded as the father of British studio pottery and their pieces are still made and fired on the original site by a team of highly skilled potters. Each bowl has colour variation in the glaze that occurs naturally, depending on where it is placed in the kiln.
