3Xue Jie - Drakenbloed - Sanguis Draconis

Xue Jie (Dragon’s Blood Resin) is a warm, sweet herb in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) valued for its strong ability to stop bleeding, invigorate blood circulation, and promote tissue regeneration. It is a resin obtained from the stems of certain palm species and has been used for centuries to heal wounds, reduce pain, and assist recovery from trauma. Xue Jie is especially prized for its dual action of both stopping bleeding and dispersing blood stasis, making it a versatile herb for external injuries, internal bleeding, and pain related to blood stagnation. In addition to its hemostatic and circulatory effects, it also supports the healing of ulcers, sores, and chronic skin wounds.
