Light the end of the stick until there is a small flame, it may take up to 45 seconds of holding a flame to it so we recommend using a candle. Once lit, let the Palo Santo burn for 10-20 seconds then blow out so only smoke remains. Cleanse a space by painting the air with the fragrant smoke then place it in a Palo Santo holder or embers down in a fireproof bowl until the smoke ceases naturally which will take up to a minute. Each stick can be relit several dozen times and Palo Santo ash can be sprinkled on top of plant soil as a natural nutrient boost. 

Palo Santo burns differently than traditional incense sticks and does not stay lit but produces a one of a kind smell that has made it popular across generations. 

Take caution when burning. Keep away from flammable materials, children, and pets.
