Palo Santo Holder Tealight Teak Wood Yin Yang

Place the stick above the soft glow of a tealight and the ritual becomes slower, quieter, more intentional. This teak wood Palo Santo holder pairs a warm wooden base with a dark metal insert, giving the aromatic wood a dedicated place to rest as its smoke rises.

Smoke, grain and quiet detail

• The rounded wooden base has a warm golden-brown tone, with visible grain running along its length.
• A circular recess holds a tealight, keeping the flame in its own settled place.
• The black metal insert lifts the Palo Santo stick above the base, so the scent can unfold gently.
• A Yin and Yang design sits at the centre, framed by fine carved detail for a quiet altar-like feel.
• It turns a simple scent ritual into a small visual moment, with wood, flame and smoke held together.

Teak wood with a metal resting point

The base is made from teak wood, paired with a metal insert for holding Palo Santo sticks. The contrast is simple and pleasing: warm grain below, dark metal above, with the Yin and Yang motif adding a thoughtful focal point.

How to use it with Palo Santo

Place a tealight in the circular recess, then rest your Palo Santo stick on the metal insert. Keep the holder on a stable, heat-safe surface while in use, and never leave flame, smoke or smouldering wood unattended.

After use, allow everything to cool fully before touching or cleaning. Wipe the wooden base with a dry cloth, and avoid soaking it, as teak is still a natural wood.

The meaning behind the Yin and Yang design

In Taoist philosophy, Yin and Yang express the relationship between complementary forces: stillness and movement, shadow and light, softness and strength. On a Palo Santo holder, the symbol suits the pace of the ritual: lighting, pausing, watching smoke move through the air. The holder brings together Palo Santo with a symbol rooted in Chinese thought, held in a wooden piece made in Indonesia.

Weight and details

This holder weighs 100 g. It is made from teak wood and metal, with a built-in space for a tealight and a metal insert for holding Palo Santo sticks.

A thoughtful ritual gift

A considered gift for someone who already uses Palo Santo, keeps a meditation corner, or likes small objects with symbolic detail. It suits a bedside table, shelf or quiet home altar when not in use.

Common questions

Will the wood mark if it gets hot?
Prolonged contact with flame or a smouldering ember can mark natural wood. Use the metal insert as intended and keep the holder on a heat-safe surface.
