SANGRE DE DRAGO
(Croton Lechleri)
Sangre de Drago (Dragon's
Blood) is perhaps the ultimate anti-oxidant and natural
healer. The bark of this medium-sized tree exudes a red
sappy resin when cut. When dried, this sap has been found
to be composed of up to 90% proanthocyanidins, the potent
of known dietary anti-oxidants. When taken internally, Sangre
de Drago helps to maintain a healthy lining of the digestive
system. Used topically, it helps stop bleeding, accelerates
skin regeneration and healthy tissue growth with minimal
scarring.
