Dracaena cambodiana
Arbre à résine de dragon du Cambodge utilisé en médecine traditionnelle khmère pour la cicatrisation des plaies et le traitement du diarrhée.
Dracaena cambodiana, known as Cambodian Dragon Tree, produces a red resin (dragon's blood) traditionally used in Khmer medicine for wound healing and antidiarrheal purposes. Modern research supports its astringent, antimicrobial, and wound-healing properties, attributed to active compounds such as dracorubin, dracorhodin, flavonoids, and tannins. Evidence is limited to preliminary studies and traditional use, with a C-level evidence rating.
The resin's astringent action is mediated by tannins that precipitate proteins, forming a protective layer on mucous membranes and wounds, reducing fluid loss and microbial entry. Flavonoids and dracorhodin exhibit antimicrobial effects by disrupting bacterial cell membranes and inhibiting biofilm formation. Wound healing is promoted through enhanced fibroblast proliferation, collagen synthesis, and angiogenesis, likely via activation of the TGF-β/Smad pathway and antioxidant activity. The antidiarrheal effect involves reduced intestinal motility and secretion, possibly through opioid receptor agonism and inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis.
