These boxes of mini incense sticks come 50 to a box, with holder included. Made in traditional Japanese style with safe ingredients by a company (Nippon Kodo) that has been in operation since 1575. Each stick lasts approximately 25 minutes - That's over 20+ hours of scent per box! And these sticks can be broken for shorter bursts of scent. The scent is not overwhelming.
Palo Santo in its wood form is not typically stocked by our store because some of the trees it comes from are endangered, and we believe that resource should be protected not only for the environment but for use by the peoples and cultures whose practices first used Palo Santo. However, we have elected to use it as an incense because it is not feasible to make essential oils from wild-harvested endangered woods; essential oils require such a high amount of plant matter to produce that they can only come from farmed plants. This means that no tree species is further endangered and the people who originally used Palo Santo for spiritual practices still have access to that material.
Palo Santo is cleansing & transformative, with powers over creating clarity, bringing healing energy, and causing an uplift of spirit. It is connected to the element of air, the planets of Mercury & Venus, and the Zodiac signs of Gemini, Venus, and Aquarius.
These items are stocked at our market booth locations in Innisfil and Toronto, which are both only open on weekends. This may cause a small delay in order fulfillment (including moving it to other pick-up locations). All our prices are inclusive of any applicable sales taxes within Canada & Ontario.
