Palo Santo vs Sage: benefits and difference
⠀
A quite popular topic is the Palo Santo vs Sage comparison. What is Palo Santo used for? Should I use it or maybe Sage instead? What is so special about them, and what differs them?
⠀
We’ve spoke a lot about the benefits of Palo Santo, however, Sage has its benefits as well. It’s always a good idea to compare these popular, ritualistic plants if your choice is not set in stone. In short – if you have a small space, Palo Santo may be a better decision. Even though Sage is a great solution for large apartments, and you won’t need to blow the embers to sustain the smoke effect that often. Which is suitable, no doubt. However, there are still more nuances to consider.
⠀
While both Palo Santo and Sage’s main purpose is smuggling, Sage has a more powerful effect. Yet, according to the rumors, it cleanses everything – both negative and positive energy. Meaning that you should “fill” the area with some positive energy afterward. Crystal ceremonies, dancing or music – everything can work.
⠀
If you want to burn Sage for ritualistic purposes, it’s somewhat similar to how to burn Palo Santo. It’s highly recommended to use regular matches instead of butane lighters. Indigenous people think that it may affect the final medical effect and purpose of the ceremony. After it burns for half a minute, you can fumigate the house even with greater effect than Palo Santo. Still, the scent would be quite different and depends on the personal taste of the owner.
