*Lung infections.
*Mouth and throat ulcers.
*Stomach and intestinal ulcers: Blood of the dragon may be a potent, cost-effective treatment for gastrointestinal ulcers, suggests a study published in the American Journal of Physiology in 2000. In tests on rats, researchers found that blood of the dragon helped speed up the healing of ulcers, possibly due to its anti-inflammatory effects.
*Bleeding gums.
*Bone fractures.
*Eczema.
*Cancer : Preliminary research suggests that blood of the dragon shows promise as a cancer-fighter. In a 2012 study published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology, for example, tests on mice and on human cancer cells demonstrated that compounds found in blood of the dragon may help inhibit the growth of tumors. Additionally, a 2002 study on human gastrointestinal cancer cells found that blood of the dragon may help induce apoptosis (a type of programmed cell death essential for stopping the proliferation of cancer cells). Publishing their findings in Journal of Ethnopharmacology, the study's authors state that blood of the dragon "should be evaluated further as a potential source of anti-cancer agents."
