Abstract:
To assess the possible clinical implication of Dragon's Blood in dermatology, a PubMed search was conducted using the keyword "Dragon's Blood," "Croton lechleri," and more. Dragon's Blood from C. lechleri is an Amazonian medicinal plant with a characteristic red sap. Its array of phytochemical action in preclinical studies include anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial, antifungal, and antineoplastic properties. Clinical studies reflect wound healing and antiviral properties. Although its popularity is rising in western medicine, C. lechleri offers limited use in dermatology and further investigation is necessary to gain further insight into its potential clinical implication.
