Sangre de Drago — dragon's blood — is the deep red latex of a rainforest tree from the Amazon Basin, one of traditional Amazonian medicine's most extraordinary wound healers. Applied directly to cuts, burns, and skin injuries, the resin dries rapidly to form a natural 'second skin' that protects the wound while its alkaloids and proanthocyanidins accelerate healing. Internally, it is used for gastrointestinal infections, diarrhoea, and as an antiviral treatment for herpes and respiratory viruses.
