Dragon's blood has been used medicinally for centuries & continues to be used in
traditional medicine
- including Chinese medicine - to this day.
A LITTLE HISTORY
Spanish explorer and naturalist,
P. Bernabe Cobo, recorded the use of sangre de grado (Spanish for "blood of the dragon*) after he saw indigenous tribes all over Mexico, Peru and Ecuador using the sap of the dragon tree in the 1600s. It's still used in traditional medicine by some South American cultures.
