About Luna Sundara Dragon's Blood 100% Pure Raw Sangre De
Dragon’s blood, or “sangre de grado” is a tree native to the Amazon region of South America. It’s poetic name stems from its bright red sap, which stands out vividly against the more stubbly, reptilian-looking bark. Both the tree’s bark and resin boast a long history of usage in traditional medicine - in fact, indigenous tribes throughout Peru and Ecuador have used its sap for centuries. Commonly, sangre de grado has been used to stop internal and external bleeding, heal wounds and treat intestinal problems. Less traditionally, the next time you accidentally injure yourself while hiking through the Peruvian jungle, keep an eye out for the sangre de grado tree. Cut the bark and watch a thick, red latex seep out. This can be applied directly to the skin as a kind of liquid bandage, helping to stem any blood flow.
