Dragon's Blood Resin Natural Red Incense Powder

Dragon's blood is a bright red resin that is obtained from different species of several distinct plant genera. The red resin has been in continuous use since ancient times as varnish, medicine, incense, pigment, and dye.

Sourced from the sap of the Dracaena Cinnabari tree, also known as the Dragon’s Blood Tree, the resin is exuded from its wounded trunk or branches. This deep red resin has been revered for centuries for its mystical and medicinal applications. This magical resin has many medicinal, spiritual, and healing properties.

Health benefits:

Wound-healer/Antiviral
Dragon's blood has been used for its antiviral and wound-healing effects. Taspine, a component of Dragon's blood, has been documented to have anti-inflammatory and wound-healing actions. Taspine and a proanthocyanidin component also have been shown to have antiviral activities.

GI effects
Dragon's blood also plays a role in GI health. Practitioners are reporting it is beneficial for stomach ulcers, ulcerative colitis, and Crohn's disease when taken internally.

Antioxidant properties
Dragon’s blood is rich in flavonoids. These naturally occurring plant compounds hold antioxidant qualities and help the body scavenge cell-damaging free radicals which can threaten our health. Antioxidants are wonderful for skin health, as they help protect against UV damage and inflammation – two of the major wrinkle-causing skin enemies.

Soothing effects
Adding Dragon’s blood to your skincare regime could have some seriously soothing effects. Research shows that Dragon’s blood, when applied externally to the skin, is a solution for redness and sensitive skin. Dragon’s blood at a 20% concentration proved the most effective in one study.

Moisturising effects
Plant resins, such as Dragon’s blood, help prevent moisture loss in the skin by creating a protective layer that helps seal in hydration. It is especially effective when used in conjunction with other hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid.

Beat redness
Dragon’s blood is renowned for its calming effect on skin redness.

How to use: Dragon’s Blood Resin Powder is a natural resin widely used in herbal medicine, incense, skincare, and crafts.

In traditional herbal use, it is valued for its ability to promote circulation, stop bleeding, and support wound healing. It can be taken internally with warm water or other herbs, but only under the guidance of a qualified herbalist or TCM practitioner. Externally, the powder may be applied directly to minor cuts or wounds to help stop bleeding and speed up recovery.

In incense and spiritual practice, Dragon’s Blood is often sprinkled on burning charcoal to release a rich, earthy fragrance that is believed to cleanse spaces, support meditation, and enhance rituals. It is also commonly blended with other resins such as frankincense and myrrh.

In skincare and cosmetics, a small amount of Dragon’s Blood Resin Powder can be incorporated into balms, creams, or serums. It is valued for its antioxidant and skin-repairing qualities, but should always be used in low concentrations to avoid irritation. Direct application in large amounts is not recommended.

For crafts, Dragon’s Blood has been traditionally used as a natural dye. When dissolved in alcohol or oils, it imparts a deep red color that can be applied to wood, leather, or handmade objects.

Precautions should always be taken. Internal use requires professional supervision, and it is not suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women, or for those with bleeding disorders. A patch test is recommended before applying it to the skin to avoid allergic reactions.
