DRACAENA CINNABARI [Dragon Blood Tree]
The silhouette of this distinctive tree can be found throughout Yemen's Socotra archipelago. With its thick, stout trunk and densely packed branching-stems that form an umbrella-shaped canopy, its name DRACAENA CINNABARI [Dragon Blood] is inspired by its richly-coloured resin. This blood-red sap is a substance INDUCED BY TRAUMA to DEFEND AGAINST INVASION or in response to PHYSICAL INJURY in which it is capable of fending off attack and stymieing wounds including protecting the tree from dehydration. As an age-old medicinal DRACAENA CINNABARI has been used in-kind, as an ANTI-BACTERIAL and ANTI-PARASITIC, for INFECTIONS and in the treatment of WOUNDS.
As a homeopathic remedy we find a formative remedy indicated in one embroiled with internal and external CONFLICT in which OVERWHELM and RESIGNATION lead to a state of DISTRESS. This individual is consumed by an ongoing battle between NEGATIVE and POSITIVE, LIGHT and DARK whether that be the result of one's INTERNAL DIALOGUE, FAMILY STRUGGLES or ongoing TURMOIL IN THE WORLD at large. There is a palpable sense of being ISOLATED and ALONE and with this a LOSS OF CONFIDENCE, TRUST and the ability to DISCERN. This individual may present with FRUSTRATION, ANGER and even RAGE or alternatively PANIC, INDECISION and DISASSOCIATION.
At the deepest level this person feels INCAPABLE, UNSAFE and INADEQUATE. Just as the tree uses its resin as a self-healing means of defence - so as a homeopathic remedy DRACAENA CINNABARI affords a profound PROTECTIVE quality for the physical and etheric body’s, indeed the resin has been considered to be imbued with magical and alchemic properties since its earliest known records.
DRACAENA CINNABARI'S inherent state of CONFLICT, OVERWHELM and DEFEAT propels an individual out of their MIDLINE and perpetuates a state of IMBALANCE that is so often expressed through symptoms such as DIZZINESS, LIGHT-HEADEDNESS and DISORIENTATION. This in turn is reflected in the HORMONAL SYSTEM where a plethora of symptoms, and potentially even pathologies, are likely to manifest - the PINEAL, PITUITARY and THYROID GLANDS included.
The all-consuming state of conflict experienced in the psyche is so often harboured on the physical level in the RESPIRATORY and DIGESTIVE SYSTEMS - from acute INFLAMMATORY CONDITIONS of the lungs to sudden bouts of VOMITING and DIARRHOEA. Beyond acute exacerbations we see significant CHRONIC STATES of ill-health become established, with reference to the digestive system GUT DYSBIOSIS, CANDIDA OVERGROWTH, DIVERTICULITIS and CROHN’S DISEASE may all feature.
This remedy is one to consider for SKIN CONDITIONS including ECZEMA, ULCERS, HERPES or BRUISING. As noted WOUNDS, INFECTIONS and the effects of TOXICITY are a keynote of this remedy - in DRACAENA CINNABARI we have a potent BLOOD CLEANSING agent that can assist an individual NEVER WELL SINCE MEDICAL INTERVENTION, TREATMENT or POISONING.
