Palo Santo: My Ally to Keep Calm at Home with My Children

Being a mom is one of the most beautiful experiences, but it can also be exhausting. Between household responsibilities, work, and the attention that children require, finding moments of calm can be quite a challenge. That’s why I want to share with you one of my secrets to keeping calm at home: Palo Santo. 

Since I discovered EcuadorianHands products, my daily routine has changed. Now, Palo Santo essential oil, powder incense, and the Good Vibes bracelet are essential in our home. Not only have they been a support for me, but they have also helped my children connect with an environment full of peace and good energies. 

Creating a Calm Environment with Palo Santo 

One of my favorite times of the day is when I manage to do a little meditation or yoga. I light some Palo Santo Powder Incense and let its aroma spread throughout the room. Although the aroma of Palo Santo is gentle and relaxing, it is always important to use it in a well-ventilated space or outdoors, as, like any smoke, it can be irritating if inhaled in excess. That is why I open the windows or go out into the yard to take advantage of both the fresh air and the peace that  Palo Santo brings.

I also use Palo Santo essential oil in the humidifier. A few drops are enough to transform the atmosphere of the house; this simple gesture has a calming effect not only on me, but also on my children. When they are very restless, I notice how the aroma of Palo Santo changes the environment, preparing them for a restful sleep. For our nighttime routine, I leave the humidifier on with the aroma of Palo Santo in their room, and this way we achieve a more peaceful night.

The Power of the Good Vibes Bracelet 

One of the great successes at home has been teaching my children to calm down using breathing techniques. The Good Vibes Palo Santo bracelet has been key to this. My kids love it,  not only because it smells amazing, but also because they see it as a special tool. I have explained to them that by wearing the bracelet, they are helping to protect nature and take care of our beaches thanks to the work of EcuadorianHands. This has created in them a sense of responsibility and pride, knowing that they are collaborating in the conservation of our planet.

In addition, we have turned this experience into a game. We play at breathing deeply, imitating different animals while inhaling the aroma of Palo Santo. This little ritual has really helped us cope with moments of stress or even tantrums. The bracelet is perfect because it goes with us everywhere, and its aroma reminds us of the importance of breathing and staying calm. 

After Cooking: Palo Santo to Cleanse the Environment 

Another way I use Palo Santo is after cooking. My son already knows that after preparing a meal, we light some Palo Santo Powder Incense. It is a simple habit, but we love how it cleans the environment, eliminating food odors and filling the house with positive and refreshing energy. It’s a small detail that makes a big difference, transforming the atmosphere of the home with its natural fragrance.

Teaching Sustainability to My Children 

In addition to all these benefits, I love knowing that by using EcuadorianHands products, we are contributing to something much bigger. These products support the reforestation of the dry forests of Manabí and the care of the beaches through their EcoPlayas #LlévateTuBasura campaign. Being able to teach my children that our actions and choices, such as the use of Palo  Santo, can help protect the environment, is invaluable. Sustainability is a value that I want my children to always carry with them, and these small rituals at home allow us to put it into practice in a natural way. 

Palo Santo: More than an Aroma 

For us, Palo Santo is not just a pleasant aroma, but a direct connection with nature and well-being. Through its use, we not only achieve a home full of peace, but we also teach our  children the importance of caring for the environment and being responsible with the planet. 

I encourage you to try Palo Santo in your home, especially if you are looking for simple ways to  create an environment of peace and tranquility. By choosing products from EcuadorianHands,  you are not only improving your quality of life, but you are also helping to support a project  that makes a real difference to the environment.
