Isn't cutting down such a tree also a "murder"?! The dragon's blood tree is native to the Kotra Islands of Yemen. It gets its name from the red sap produced by trees. Because of its incense and medicinal properties, it has been over-harvested. Its red resin is said to speed up the healing of wounds and help treat insect bites, etc. Traditionally, it has also been used as an anti-inflammatory drug.
