Dragon's Blood

Dragon's Blood is the deep red resin harvested from the wounded bark of the Croton lechleri tree, in the Amazonian forest of Peru. The Asháninka, Shipibo, Kichwa and Awajún peoples call it Sangre de Grado or Sangre de Drago and have used it for centuries both as a skin medicine and as a ceremonial seal of the energy field.

A drop on the skin, let it dry thirty seconds — the sap sets into a thin matte film that seals the area. That is the gesture the peoples of the Peruvian Amazon have kept: a seal, not a cure. Not for broken or infected skin, and not a substitute for care.

A single drop, traced with the fingertip in an intention of protection: on the third eye, at the wrists, or in a cross on the plexus. Particularly useful before a charged ceremony, the crossing of a heavy place, or a night when the dream announces itself vast. The same gesture that closes the skin closes the over-porous of the field.

Yes, by the drop. Some Amazonian traditions take it internally: one drop in a little water, from time to time, for the belly and the digestion. It is neither a daily cure nor a medicine, and it is not for children.

Resin wild-harvested in Peru during summer 2025, bottled in France in a 5 ml Miron bottle to preserve the vibration and protect the photosensitive compounds of the resin.

Miron glass blocks the visible light spectrum and lets only violet, UV and infrared rays through — preserving the structure of active compounds of the resin over time, particularly important for a living resin like Dragon's Blood.

Internally, one drop now and then in a little water, never as a cure, and not for children. Avoid direct contact with eyes and mucous membranes. Test on a small area before extended use in case of sensitive skin or history of skin allergy.

Compatible with a prior smudge (Imphepho, Palo Santo) to cleanse the field before tracing. And with an Agua de Florida mist for the full ceremonial dimension — mist + anointing.
