Dragon's Blood
Dragon's Blood
- Used for centuries as protection
and purification, dragon’s blood exorcises negativity,
clearing your space of all past influences.
 Dragon's
Blood is a bright red resin that is obtained from different
species of a number of distinct plant genera: Croton,
Dracaena, Daemonorops, Calamus rotang
and Pterocarpus. The red resin was used in ancient
times as varnish, medicine,
incense, and dye. It
continues to be employed for the aforementioned purposes
by some.
 The long, slender stems of the genus are flexible,
and the older trees develop climbing propensities. The
leaves have prickly stalks which often grow into long
tails and the bark is provided with many hundreds of
flattened spines. The berries are about the size of
a cherry, and pointed. When Dragon's Blood is ripe they are covered with
a reddish, resinous substance which is separated in
several ways, the most satisfactory being by steaming,
or by shaking or rubbing in coarse, canvas bags. An
inferior kind is obtained by boiling the fruits to obtain
a decoction after they have undergone the second process.
The product may come to market in beads, joined as if
forming a necklace, and covered with leaves (Tear Dragon's
Blood), or in small, round sticks about 18 inches long,
packed in leaves and strips of cane. Other varieties
are found in irregular lumps, or in a reddish powder.
They are known as lump, stick, reed, tear, or saucer
Dragon's Blood.
