Sacred Herbs & Resins - Dragon's Blood
Available in a bright blood-red powder or as chunks of resin, Dragon's Blood incense has long been revered for its magical properties. The fact that it looks so much like blood fits into the traditional belief that any substance resembling a body part should be good for curing an ailment affecting that part (this is known as the doctrine of signatures). In other words, Nature can provide clues to medicinal properties through a visible 'signature'.
Dragon's blood is thought to be extremely protective and to neutralise negative energies.
Powder: 10g pack

How to use sacred herbs and resins
Place a charcoal disc on a fireproof surface away from anything flammable. A ceramic or metal dish containing some sand is ideal.
Hold a match or a lighter to the rim of the disc, taken care as the disc may spit and spark on ignition. Also allow a good air flow around the disc so that it can burn evenly, and be aware that it may give off quite a lot of smoke.
Once the disc is red hot and glowing, drop a pinch of the incense on the top.
Scrape off the ashes from time to time to expose the glowing centre of the charcoal disc and add more incense as required.
NEVER hold a lit disc in your hand, and dispose of spent discs carefully.
