What is Dragon's Blood (or Sangre de Grado)?
Dragon's Blood is popular and widely used in Brazil, Peru, and Ecuador; it is the tree sap of the Dragon's Blood Tree or, more appropriately, a species of Dracaena tree (Croton lechleri).
Dragon's Blood is rich in medicinal compounds, and research has revealed that it is anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antibacterial, anti-fungal, and analgesic. Remarkably, Dragon's Blood is also cytophylactic (meaning it protects the 'cells of the organism' and stimulates new cell growth).
