Dragon blood tree, is a unique tree that is one of the most peculiar trees in the world. The tree has a distinctive external shape that makes it look like a huge umbrella, as the leaves grow only at the end of branches and point upwards. It has many branches; it grows by dichotomy, which means that each branch is divided into two until the leaves finally grow on the branches’ ends.It grows in rocky grounds and on high locations, where it preserves water for many years; it is drought-tolerant and can adapt to arid conditions in which there is less water and soil.It can now be found in in Socotra (Yemen), Mount Dhofar in Oman, and in some subtropical forests.What makes this tree stand out among other trees in the world is that it bleeds when it is truncated; the bloody liquid is a type of red resin that has no smell or taste. This resin is of great importance, as it contains an effective substance known as draco, which has multiple medical uses for treating some health problems, such as:

• Treating wounds and burns, as it works on clotting the blood and healing wounds quickly;
• Treating infections and skin ulceration
• Treating digestive system problems and stomach ulcerations
• Stops internal bleeding anywhere in the body
