Hi Lisa,

 

it is a blend and generally used as a " hex or curse breaker " . It is also

sometimes made with alcohol and used as a " magickal ink " for writing

" spells and prayers " related to breaking " curses and hexes " .

Hello Lisa,

 

I found the following information at:

Dragons Blood Oil Information

 

* Dragons Blood as known in commerce, has several origins, the

substance so named being contributed by widely differing species. When

ripe the berries are covered with a reddish, resinous substance which is

separated in several ways, the most satisfactory being by steaming, or

by shaking or rubbing in coarse, canvas bags. Sangre de Drago, spanish

for " Blood of the Dragon, " is a medium to large sized tree growing up 10

to 20 meters in height found throughout the tropics and the Amazon

regions of South America. The genus Croton is a large one, with 750

species of trees and shrubs distributed in the tropical and subtropical

regions of both hemispheres. When the trunk of the tree is cut or

wounded, a dark red sappy resin oozes out as if the tree is bleeding -

earning its local name.

* Properties - Astringent, Cicatrizant, Tonic, Tumor, Ulcer(Mouth),

Vulnerary, Fever, Gum, Wounds, Antiseptic,Eczema, Hemostat, Hemorrhage,

Fracture, Leucorrhea, Piles, Skin, Throat, Ulcers(Mouth),

Ulcers(Stomach), Ulcers(Intestinal), Vaginitis, Vulnerary.

* Uses - It is very brittle, and breaks with an irregular, resinous

fracture, is bright red and glossy inside, and darker red sometimes

powdered with crimson, externally. Sangre de Drago resin and bark is

used in traditional medicine in South America with its uses closely

following the indigenous uses. In Peruvian herbal medicine it is widely

used and recommended for external use as a wound healing agent and as an

antiseptic vaginal douche, for skin disorders like eczema, and to

relieve itchy bug bites. It is taken internally for hemorrhaging, mouth

ulcers in the mouth, tonsillitis, throat infections, tuberculosis,

peptic ulcers, intestinal disorders, rheumatism and to enhance

fertility. In Brazilian traditional medicine the sap is used for wounds,

hemorrhaging, mouth ulcers and a general tonic. Although thousands of

pounds of bark and resin are imported into the United States currently,

The drugs include Provir, an oral product for the treatment of

respiratory viral infections and Virend, a topical antiviral product for

the treatment of herpes.

* Blends with - Dragons blood is used mostly for medicinal purposes

and is not recommended for aromatherapy use

* Cautions - Should not be taken internally, non-toxic,

non-irritant, not to be used in high dosages.
