Description

Dragan Balm carries the alchemy of opposites — fire and ice, tension and release, effort and renewal. Inspired by the mythic dragon’s breath, this potent herbal salve cools inflamed tissue, then ignites gentle warmth to restore flow and ease. Whether you’ve hiked a ridge, swung an axe, or worked long hours with your hands, this wildcrafted balm delivers deep relief and an icy-cool sensation without the petroleum byproducts, artificial fragrances, or synthetic fillers found in many conventional rubs.

Sustainably and ritually harvested arnica, fireweed, elder flower, and white horehound are solar-infused in jojoba oil, capturing the sun’s fiery energy to draw out each plant’s essence. This powerful botanical base is balanced by the cooling powers of menthol crystals and essential oils of peppermint, eucalyptus, camphor, clove, and cinnamon, creating a dynamic interplay of warmth and chill that soothes, moves, and renews.

Herbal Allies

• Arnica (Arnica cordifolia): Used traditionally to reduce swelling, ease bruises, and support injury recovery by promoting circulation and relieving soreness.
• Fireweed (Chamaenerion angustifolium): Soothes irritated tissues and encourages cellular renewal—energetically tied to regeneration after stress or trauma.
• Elder Flower (Sambucus nigra): Cooling and anti-inflammatory; supports lymphatic flow and eases heat or puffiness in overworked muscles.
• White Horehound (Marrubium vulgare): A bitter herb used externally to dispel heat, reduce swelling, and support clearing of stagnation.

Cooling Actives & Essential Oils

• Menthol Crystals: Delivers penetrating cold to dull pain and refresh overworked areas.
• Camphor Essential Oil: Invigorates and clears congestion in muscular tissues.
• Peppermint Essential Oil: Sharp, cooling, and effective for heat and tension relief.
• Cinnamon & Cassia: Adds gentle, circulation-supportive warmth.
• Clove Essential Oil: Naturally analgesic and supports pain relief.
• Eucalyptus Essential Oil: Opens the flow of movement, both physical and energetic.
