Dragons blood

Dragons blood: This scent I found very interesting indeed because I had never heard of the dragon tree in China, Mexico, the East Indies, Sumatra, Bombay and Zanzabar there

are trees with similar names that all contain draco in them.

Dragons blood is one part of this draco tree or another.

The look of the bark has a scale to it and the leaves and berries are red and prickly so it's no surprise it's named after the dragon.

Different parts of the tree are harvested to create powders and essential oils and some older and larger trees emit a sap that is used also.

These powders and oils are used for a variety of reasons from perfumes, incenses, balms, salves and medicines.

Dragons blood has a very pungent aroma that is pleasing to the senses. Because of its name it is used in a wide variety of rituals.

The leaves have prickly stalks, which often grow into long tails, and the bark is provided with many hundreds of flattened spines thus giving a very dragon-like appearance and

the most probable origin of the name.

This is a good time to mention the synergy of the oils and mixture of oils.

The synergy is the compound combination of the two that carry a different property than either the one or the other standing alone and since dragons blood is a favorite of mine I

will elaborate here on this importance and vast number of related effects and how they can be used by you to create the ointments and salves or balms that you may want for

whatever reason. During the writing of this book I have told many that none of this is important in the least until you need it.

You can relate it to driving through the desert and having a breakdown with your engine out in the middle of nowhere.

Knowing how your engine runs doesn't matter until you're stranded or until you need it and then that knowledge could save your life.

In the creation of oils and ointments there are many that would just prefer to go out and but it at the store (which is fine) and others that want to know how to make it.

Bees wax, vegetable oil, flaxseed oil, olive oil, are used to mix down essential oil but the first was most probably fat. 

When you extract an essential oil from something an you put it directly onto the skin you'll probably notice it burns and irritates your skin and so when it is mixed down the

synergy of the compound reacts quite differently and with the right mixture can even be placed on the lips or more sensitive areas and actually feel good to the skin.

Most essential oil mixes are 10% to the overall compound although there are a few that can be directly applied for the most part be careful with pure essential oil, if you have it,

most are highly toxic.

This is the case with antiseptics, disinfectants and insecticides also and it is my intention to inform you of how to make and mix whatever it is that you wish within the pages of this

book so if you do get stuck in the desert you will have the tools to fix your engine as well as the knowledge.

The mystical and considered magical effects of the dragons blood have been listed in a thousand books and have the common protection and luck, fortune and good health

attributed as effects of the scent but what is more important than the thing itself is what you put into this thing.

The reason you put on perfume and the thought behind it while it is being applied have a great deal to do with the effect that it has and this is why so many healers and natural

healing artists have such great success, not to mention meeting someone at the bar or the market or going out on a first date.

Dragons blood opens an avenue here that will be covered bit by bit in the upcoming chapters with the creation of potions, salves, perfumes, balms, deodorants, lip gloss, eye

washes, teas, condensers and formulas but cannot all show in this one area and I will explain it in terms that are simple to understand and perform.

But first with any item at all the most basic function for our senses is to smell it and see how it affects your senses and from there you make the next step.

I consider dragons blood an excellent bacteria blaster and so here I am placing the others I have found to be used as antibacterial and antiseptics in alphabetical order.

Bay, Bergamont, Bois De Rose, Cajeput, Camphor, Cardamon, Cedarwood, Celery (wild and domestic), Chamomile (Roman and German) Cinnamon, Citronella, Clary-Sage,

Clove, Cumin, Cyprus, Eucalyptus (all forms), Garlic, Geranium, Ginger, Hyssop, Juniper, Lavender, Lemon, Lemongrass, Lime, Marjoram, Myrtle, Niaouli, Nutmeg, Onion,

Orange, Oregano, Parsley, Patchouli, Peppermint, Pettigraine (lemon and orange), Pimento, Pine, Rose, Rosemary, Sage, Sandalwood, Savory, Spearmint, Tea tree, Terebinth,

Thyme, Verbena, Vetiver, Wintergreen, Ylang-Ylang.

For centuries these items have been either diluted or applied directly to clean kitchens and bathrooms, bedding and clothing, skin and body because those before us experimented

and discovered through necessity what worked the best to suit their needs for decontamination and disinfecting the space in which they occupied, including the body as another

constant reflection of that which is below to that which is above.
