Palo Santo or "Holy Wood" (Bursera graveolens) is a natural wood incense used for centuries by the Incas and indigenous people of the Andes as a spiritual remedy for purifying and cleansing, as well as to get rid of evil spirits and misfortune, and for medicinal purposes. It has a fine citrus aroma with underlying notes of frankincense, its close relative.
This stick form was made from palo santo trees in Peru, blended with machilus dry bark powder.
Chie incense is all natural, has no bamboo core, and burns cleanly, with almost no smoke.
Chie is a collection of genuine incense made from natural aromatic ingredients crafted by Nippon Kodo, one of the most revered and experienced incense makers in the world; it was founded in 1575.
Chie means the ability to see things as they really are and to recognize the truth. Inspired by Buddhism, the Chie circle is painted with a single stroke in Zen calligraphy. It is said that the circle represents the infinite, the beginning and end of everything, enlightenment, psychology, and the universe as a whole.
