Dragon’s Blood

Ingredient Profile

Modern Research Perspective

Research on Dragon’s Blood resins has examined phenolic constituents and experimental effects related to inflammation, oxidative stress, microbial activity, tissue repair, and vascular or bone pathways. Botanical sources vary, so findings cannot automatically transfer between materials. Human evidence is limited and source-specific; better characterization, pharmacokinetic work, and controlled clinical studies are needed before effectiveness or safety for a defined indication can be established.

Traditional Function

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Dragon’s Blood resin is used to invigorate blood, disperse blood stasis, relieve pain, stop bleeding, and support healing of sores or injuries.
