A unique fact is Palo Santo wood is cut only from naturally dead trees or branches. Living Palo Santo Trees that are freshly cut, won’t produce its distinctive aroma and won’t retain its special properties. Palo Santo trees needs to die on its own, then dry for a minimum of four years, which enables its mystical internal sap to crystalize.
