Description

Dragon’s Blood resin generally comes from the fruits of climbing palm trees, such as Daemonorops Draco, in areas of tropical Asia. The fruit of the trees is covered in scales and the bright red shiny resin seeps out between the scales – which looks a bit like blood coming out from a cut (or a scaly dragon’s hide). As it seeps out, it’s traditionally collected, cleansed and then melted down to form a hard chunk of resin.

When burnt, Dragon’s Blood creates a strong herbal and spicy fragrance. It’s traditionally used in Indian ceremonies to get rid of negative energies and spirits and is regarded as having cleansing properties.
