These Palo Santo chips are small, broken pieces of Palo Santo wood. The chips are convenient for those who want to use Palo Santo without dealing with the larger sticks or logs, and they often burn more quickly due to their smaller size. The chips themselves retain the same distinct scent, which is often described as a combination of citrus, mint, and wood, with earthy, slightly sweet notes.
When burned, Palo Santo chips produce a gentle, aromatic smoke that is believed to have purifying qualities. Many use them for meditation, ritual practices, or simply to cleanse the air in their homes. The smoke is thought to help clear negative energy, promote relaxation, and even repel insects.
