The mystical Dragon’s Blood resin smudge stick is traditionally cherished for its unmatched properties, and let me tell you, it brings so much more benefits into your life than you think. 

So, let’s explore all these benefits in a bit of detail!

1. Protection

Dragon’s blood is a real boost to your day!

Ever felt the hunch of negative energy lurking in your yoga studio, home, or office? Well, the pretty powerful duo of dragon’s blood and white sage can save your day (trust me!).

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.

For those that believe such things, it also adds a layer of Qi as a shield around you.

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.

2. Purification and Cleansing

Traditionally, dragon’s blood is used in smudge sticks for purifying the air. That is its big purpose!

It purifies for spiritual purposes and also attracts blessings.

Whether you believe this spiritual side of smudging or not, there are many that do – and I respect them all!

Its smoke:

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.

But that’s not all!

I’ve heard from others that if you have ever lost the love of your life, and want to rekindle the emotions of those precious moments, dragon’s blood is worth a go.

For some, it acts as a guiding light, bringing back calmness and memories of happy moments.
