About Aikanã Dragon's Blood (Sangre de Grado)

Aikanã Dragon's Blood, also known as Sangre de Grado, is a 100% pure resin sap traditionally collected by the Aikanã people of Rondônia, Brazil.

Sangre de Grado is above all a skin resin. A single deep-red drop is rubbed into the skin, where it turns to a creamy paste and dries into a fine natural film — a "second skin." Across the Amazon it has long been a household resin kept close for the skin: dabbed onto spots and blemishes, smoothed over minor cuts, grazes and insect bites, and worked into everyday skin care. A little goes a long way — most people use just a drop or two at a time. In the Amazon its traditional uses reach well beyond the skin — a history explored in our guide.

The name tells the story. When the trunk of the Croton lechleri tree is cut, a deep red sap runs from the wound as though the tree itself were bleeding — sangre de grado, "blood of the dragon." It is a tall tree of the upper Amazon, and across Peru, Ecuador and Brazil its crimson resin has been gathered and worked with for generations.

"Dragon's blood" is in fact a name shared by several unrelated trees around the world — from the umbrella-shaped dragon tree of Socotra to a Southeast Asian rattan palm. This is the true South American one: Sangre de Grado, from the living Amazon rainforest.

The Aikanã collect this resin using sustainable harvesting methods passed down through generations. Their knowledge and care ensure both the authenticity of the product and the long-term health of the forest.

Caution: Some Dragon's Blood products contain alcohol and may cause irritation or undesired drying of the skin. We advise against using any products that are not 100% pure Dragon's Blood on your skin or in your mouth.

Premium Dragon’s Blood

Excellent quality! Will definitely purchase again.

Quality products!

The dragons blood is good quality and quantity for the money. I also have purchased sananga from here that I love.

Incredibly good.

This is my first time trying dragon's blood and I'm pleasantly surprised! I combine it with copaiba balsam oil, copaiba essential oil (that I purchased from Shamanic Supply), boswellic acid, frankincense (Boswellia sacra), and DMSO to make an insanely potent topical for pain management.

Excellent Quality

The Dragon’s Blood available from Shamanic Supply is of the highest quality. I’ve been using Dragon’s Blood in various ways for about a decade. Initially I used it for cuts and scrapes. It worked great on healing my dad’s incision wounds after they dug a cancer lesion out of the back of his hand. It works for this kind of thing better than anything else I’ve experienced. I tried to use it internally to heal some of the funny stuff going on in my gut but it would always make me feel a bit “off” and I got discouraged and stopped after several attempts. But when Shamanic Supply started carrying Dragon’s Blood I decided to try it and also try it internally again. I add a few drops to some tea or water before bed and drink it. I have none of the nausea issues I had with other brands of this this medicine. My gut is feeling quite a bit better. I’m impressed with all the products that I’ve tried from Shamanic Supply, and am a big fan of the Sananga, too.
