Description
This beautifully red Dragon’s Blood Long Mala is crafted from Dracaena cinnabari wood. Dragon’s Blood Wood has been highly prized for centuries. Its red color comes from crimson resin, which was valued in both in the ancient world and in modern times for its use in dye, lipstick, and as a medicine.
The Greeks, Romans, and Arabs saw it as a cure-all, and used it for wound healing and to lower fevers among other things. Italian violin makers also used it as a varnish in the 1700s.
Known as japamala, prayer beads, or Buddhist beads, mala beads originated in ancient India, where practitioners of Buddhism and Hinduism have used them for centuries. The term “Mala” translates to “garland” in Sanskrit, signifying a string of beads used for prayer and meditation. A larger bead, known as the Guru bead, marks the beginning and end of the Mala.
Mala beads can be made from various materials such as wood, seeds, or gemstones, each carrying its own symbolic significance.
