Dragon's blood – a brief explanation
Dragon's blood (also known as "Sangre de Drago") is a traditionally known resin from the dragon's blood tree, notable for its characteristic reddish color. The term is used for different products.
At YOMERA dragon's blood is a liquid oil resin (as it comes from the tree) – not a incense resin. It is therefore not suitable for burning.
Origin: Where does dragon's blood come from?
The name "dragon's blood" is a collective term. Depending on the region and botanical source, dragon's blood can vary in composition, color, and consistency. This is why transparency regarding origin and product form (resin vs. oil resin) is so important.
What does "liquid oil resin" mean?
A liquid oil resin is a natural, resinous substance obtained in liquid form. Compared to solid resin pieces, it is:
· easier to dose
· directly applicable (depending on the intended use)
· usually viscous to oily in consistency
Properties: Color, Scent & Texture
Depending on the batch and origin, dragon's blood oil resin may vary slightly. Common characteristics:
· Color: reddish to dark red
· Texture: viscous/oily-resinous
· Scent: resinous, warm, slightly spicy (depending on the source)
Application in everyday life (without healing promises)
Many traditionally and creatively use liquid dragon's blood oil resin, for example:
· as part of a conscious ritual practice (e.g., to mark transitions)
· for symbolic applications in one's own setting (altar, ceremony space)
· In artisanal contexts where resins are traditionally used
Important: Use it carefully, start with very small amounts, and be aware that resins can stain strongly.
