Also known as Sangre de Drago or Sangre de Grado, this viscous red tree sap is often found in South American medicine cabinets and is used to treat gastro-intestinal disorders and for general wound healing.
Herb Pharm’s Dragon’s Blood is harvested from Croton lechleri – a rapidly growing tree found in the rain forests of Peru. The sap is a rich, complex source of phytochemicals including alkaloids and procyanidins. Internally, Dragon’s Blood is a traditional folk remedy for ulcers and diarrhea. Used externally, Dragon’s Blood is renowned for its wound healing capability and is commonly applied as a liquid bandage to both accelerate the healing of open wounds and to protect damaged skin from microbial infection.
