Dragon's Blood from Socotra 20 g

Genuine Dragon's Blood from Socotra (Dracaena cinnabari)

This natural dragon's blood resin comes from the famous dragon's blood tree Dracaena cinnabari, which grows almost exclusively on the island of Socotra in Yemen. The remote island in the Arabian Sea is renowned for its extraordinary plant life and is considered one of the most botanically unique places on Earth.

The deep red resin is regarded as one of the most sought-after dragon's blood qualities. It has been valued for centuries for incense burning, traditional crafts and as a natural resin. It is available either as resin pieces of varying sizes or as a mixture of small fragments and powder.

In addition to dragon's blood from Socotra, there are other botanical sources, such as Dracaena draco from the Canary Islands or Daemonorops draco from Indonesia, whose resin is obtained from the fruits of a rattan palm. This variety, however, comes exclusively from the dragon's blood tree Dracaena cinnabari from Socotra and is one of the most traditional and best-known dragon's blood resins.

In various incense traditions, dragon's blood has long been used for protective, cleansing or strengthening incense rituals. It is often burned on its own or combined with frankincense, myrrh or benzoin to create a strong and distinctive incense blend. These uses are based on traditional customs and cultural practices.
