Handcrafted in India
Dragon Blood is mainly a type of incense made from the resin of a palm tree called Dracaena, or Dragon Tree. These trees are native to the Socotra archipelago near the Arabian Sea and can be found in Yemen countries. This otherworldly tree can live for over a thousand years and has an unusual umbrella-like appearance.
The resin found in these trees was once popularly used for medicinal purposes. People believed it had properties that could help heal wounds, but it was not limited to just that. Native American cultures have been using incense for rituals and ceremonies because they believe it has certain healing properties. They use it to communicate with spirits and ancestors. Hindu priests, on the other hand, used it during ceremonies as an offering to their deities.

Description
Why is it Called Dragon’s Blood?
The resin extracted from the dragon tree is usually bright red in colour. This aspect gives it its name; the resin isn’t usually extracted from just one tree but a specific tree species. These come from the plant groups Pterocarpus, Daemonorops, and Dracaena.
This uniquely shaped tree can survive in areas that see very little rainfall. They also have a very long lifespan, sometimes even living for hundreds of years. The longest living specimen is called the “El Drago Milenario”. It is estimated to have lived for up to 250 years in 1975.
What Are Its Uses?
However, the dragon’s blood incense is not only used in ritualistic ceremonies. Consider lighting up an incense stick or cone before bed to help you simmer down after a day of hard work. Because of its scent, there are a wide number of ways to use it. You can use it while working, or even to mask unwanted odours in your house. However, when using any form of incense, we recommend keeping your room ventilated.
You can also use this fragrance for:
- Meditation
- Ritualistic Ceremonies
- Relaxation
- Yoga
- Increasing focus
- Purifying the air
