Dragon's Blood: 1:1 Tincture [30 ML – 1 Ounce]
 
This is a pure, 1:1 mother's tincture of Dragon's blood sap! Menstruum used for extraction is alcohol.
 
While the bottle will indicate it is not for ingestion, and it's not! Tim Goyetche may discuss publicly how he uses it personally. This product is shipped directly to us from Dr. Tim Goyetche, we do not rebottle it.
 
That is not to be construed as a recommendation, as it would make it illegal to sell. Thus, it should always be considered for external use only.
 
It is the naturally occurring deep-red sap of the South American Croton lechleri tree, traditionally known as Sangre de Drago / Sangre de Grado.
 
This fascinating botanical has a very long history of traditional use and modern research is now exploring many of the properties that have made it so valued.
 
WHY IS DRAGON’S BLOOD SO INTERESTING?
Croton lechleri contains a complex range of naturally occurring plant compounds, including polyphenols and proanthocyanidins, and has attracted research for its:
• Powerful antioxidant activity
• Anti-inflammatory properties
• Antimicrobial activity
• Antifungal activity demonstrated in laboratory research
• Traditional use for digestive and intestinal support
• Traditional use for wounds and skin repair
• Potential immune-modulating activity being investigated
• Potential protective effects against oxidative stress
 
WHAT ABOUT CANDIDA, YEAST & GUT IMBALANCES?
This is one of the reasons Dragon’s Blood has generated so much interest within natural health.
Laboratory research has demonstrated antifungal and antimicrobial activity, and Dragon’s Blood has a long history of traditional gastrointestinal use.
For this reason, practitioners may explore it in the broader context of:
• Candida / yeast imbalance
• Microbial imbalance
• Digestive disturbances
• Short-term gut protocols
• Situations involving a high oxidative burden
 
OXIDATIVE STRESS & CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH
Dragon’s Blood is particularly rich in antioxidant compounds.
Antioxidants help protect cells from oxidative damage caused by free radicals, which is why antioxidant-rich botanicals are of interest when considering inflammation, ageing and overall cardiovascular wellbeing.
 
Claims that Dragon’s Blood can remove arterial calcification or clear blocked arteries, however, have not been established in human clinical trials. It should never replace appropriate cardiovascular investigation or medical treatment.
 
AND THEN THERE’S THE SKIN…
This is perhaps one of the most interesting areas for Dragon’s Blood.
Traditionally it has been applied topically for wounds, irritated skin and tissue repair, and research has investigated its wound-healing and anti-inflammatory properties.
A small amount can also be incorporated into a favorite moisturizing cream as part of an antioxidant-rich skincare routine.
 
POTENCY MATTERS
Dragon’s Blood is not something I view as an everyday, “more is better” botanical.
 
The product we stock from Dr. Tim Goyetche is a pure 1:1 Mother’s Tincture of Dragon’s Blood sap — 30 mL.
 
There is insufficient safety information for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding, so I recommend avoiding it in these circumstances.
 
As always, education is key. Natural does not automatically mean gentle, and potent botanicals deserve the same respect and consideration we give any therapeutic substance.
 
Educational information only. Traditional uses and preliminary research should not be interpreted as evidence that Dragon’s Blood diagnoses, treats, prevents or cures disease.
 
Always seek appropriate professional advice for diagnosed medical conditions.
