Räucherstäbchen Drachenblut

Räucherwerk Drachenblut - Sechseck-Packung

Dragon's Blood A blood red resin from the Dragon's Blood Palm. There are several trees bearing that name growing in various localities (ie the Canaries) but the true incense variety is found in Sumatra. Referred to in many apothecaries’ texts -and traditionally used in medicines to cure dysentery and syphilis! Comes in two forms, a purified powder we call "Apothecaries Dragons Blood", and a "lump" form, "Incense Dragons Blood" which gives an aroma slightly similar to Frankincense. When this form is dissolved in surgical spirits there is a considerable amount of plant residue left. As the apothecaries grade has very little smell this leads to the conclusion that much of the aroma may be derived from this plant residue. The "Incense grade" is cheaper - but for incense usage is probably more effective.
