When I light up a dragon’s blood smudge stick, I find that its fragrant smoke pretty much instantly shows its benefits. It makes my surrounding environment feel less dense!

But the whole magic of dragon’s blood does just not stop there (let me assure you). The smoke from it infuses the air with a rich aroma.

Without meaning to get too poetic, like a mystical creature protecting you, dragon’s blood and white sage in a smudge stick work hand in hand to turn your surroundings into a safe space filled with positive energy.

3. Induce Lucid Dreams

This is a biggie for me!

With a dragon’s blood smudge stick, there are those people out there that believe you can unlock the potential of your brain and get into a lucid dream state.

What does this mean?

Well, lucid dreaming (for the uninitiated) is being present and in control of your dreams. It is a state that is achieved, normally, through lots of practice.

Dragon’s blood helps you to exercise some control over your emotions and surroundings in dreams.

Top tip to achieve this – simply burn the smudge stick, creating that serene environment filled with a slightly amber, dense, and musky fragrance. Feel it wrap gently around you, creating a bridge between the conscious and the unconscious in your mind.
