Try Dragon's Blood resin, one of the most popular and sought-after incenses. It will appeal to you if you are looking for a distinctive expression and a dynamic, protective, warming, and grounding character. It has its place in traditional rituals and modern incense burning.

It will help you rid your space of heavy or stagnant energy and promote strength, stability, and action. It is excellent when you need to boost courage, decisiveness, and vitality. It will please anyone looking for a more intense incense than frankincense: Dragon's Blood has a strong aroma and long-lasting effect.

It is suitable for meditations and ceremonies, in yoga studios, therapeutic or massage spaces, and wherever you need to clear the air and enhance safety. You can use it on its own or in incense blends, where it will amplify the effect of other incenses.

Our Dragon's Blood is 100% natural raw resin from the Indonesian climbing plant Daemonorops draco. Unlike other types, it is obtained from the surface of the fruits. This origin gives it a unique place among incenses and other types of Dragon's Blood.

Warning: When handling, it leaves a distinct red pigment. We therefore recommend careful handling, especially when in contact with textiles, light surfaces, or hands.

Why burn incense

Incense burning is an ancient way to cleanse space, uplift the mind, and achieve a sense of harmony. The smoke from resins and other incenses purifies the air, brings peace, concentration, and spiritual attunement.

• Calms and helps harmonise emotions
• Promotes concentration and clarity of mind
• Accompanies rituals and spiritual practice
• Energetically tunes spaces
• Neutralises odours

Instructions for use – how to burn incense

On charcoal: Place a quick-lighting charcoal disc in a fireproof dish with sand, light it, and add a piece of incense or a blend. This method is most effective for quick energetic cleansing, but it produces more smoke.

On a burner with a sieve: Using a special burner allows for a gentler and longer-lasting incense burning. It is ideal for meditation or smaller spaces. After burning, remove resin residues from the sieve with a brush or in warm water.

In an electric censer: A portable electric censer offers a convenient, clean, and modern way to burn incense without using charcoal, producing dense smoke, or the risk of burning the blend. For more comfortable and safer incense burning, try our electric censers Ritual Mist or Dark Temple.

Tips for burning incense

A cleaner scent profile can be achieved by using a mica plate (a thin sheet of mica), which prevents a burnt tone and ensures a gentler and longer-lasting aroma.

Large pieces of resin can be crushed into smaller pieces for faster release of the scent.

Safety warnings

• Always use a non-flammable container, keep it out of reach of children and pets.
• Do not leave burning unattended.
• Ensure ventilation.
• Do not inhale smoke at close range.
• People sensitive to smoke or pregnant individuals should burn incense sparingly.

Dragon's Blood is always different

Under the name Dragon's Blood, there are actually various plant raw materials originating from different parts of the world. They are united by their distinctive red colour, which is reflected in their name.

Our incense resin comes from Daemonorops draco, a climbing rattan palm from Southeast Asia, especially Indonesia and Malaysia. You may also encounter the name Calamus Draco Willd., which refers to the same plant.

From a layer on the surface of the fruits, which have a distinctive red pigment, red resin is obtained. Harvesting is done manually, and riper fruits, which tend to have a higher resin content, are selected.

Dragon's Blood from Daemonorops draco has a long history of use. In Asia, it was valued for traditional purposes, rituals, and magic, as well as an important trade commodity. It was exported to Europe, where it found use in varnishes, pigments, dyes, and alchemy.

Dragon's Blood from fruits or tree trunk?

Different types of „Dragon's Blood“ not only have different origins but are also suitable for different uses.

Our Dragon's Blood Resin from the surface of the fruits of the Daemonorops draco palm is traditionally used primarily as an incense for cleansing, protection, and rituals, as a pigment, or as part of blends. It is valued for its distinctive, protective, and ritualistic character.

In contrast, another well-known Dragon's Blood – from the Amazonian tree Croton lechleri – is red sap from a cut trunk. It is mainly associated with traditional healing and cosmetic use, especially in connection with skin care. In the BEWIT offer, you can find, for example, Dragon's Blood, RAW drops.
