Dragon’s Blood Resin (Daemonorops draco) — Xue Jie Herbal Resin for TCM Blends

Dragon's Blood Resin (Daemonorops draco), known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Xuè Jié (血竭), is the dried resin obtained from the fruit of the dragon's blood palm, a highly revered traditional herb also called Long Xue Jie (龙血竭). For centuries, Xue Jie has been prized as a blood-quickening, stasis-dispelling, and wound-healing resin, traditionally used to invigorate circulation, ease traumatic swelling and pain, and support tissue recovery. Its nature is sweet, salty, and neutral, making it a focused yet gentle resin for moving blood, dispersing stagnation, and settling pain.
