Have you heard of Dragon's Blood before? No, there's no need to frown! Nothing gets killed in GoT style.
Dragon's blood extract is a natural substance used for centuries in traditional Chinese and Indian medicine for its healing properties.
More specifically,it is a resin obtained from the bark of some Amazonian plants, including Daemonorops, Dracaena, Croton, Calamus and Pterocarpus, whose resins all have the characteristic red-brown colour. They are odourless or with a slightly balsamic aroma, have a sweetish taste and are soluble in ethyl alcohol.
The tree from which it derives seems to have come out of a book of magic. This is in fact, found only in the Socotra archipelago, in the Indian Ocean, and its thick and dense frond has a shape that recalls that of an umbrella, which appears majestic is magnificent. Furthermore, its trunk does not have the typical concentric rings used to date a shrub's age. Thus the age of a Dragon's Blood is estimated only by the number of its many branches.

This magical resin amplifies its ceremonial powers and results in rituals and spells, especially those of love and protection. Burning it not only works as a purifying incense but also allows you to ward off negative energies and influences.
