Nature has EVERY answer. You are NOT separate from her, you are a cell within the body of Gaia. Repost from @willow.red - Have you ever wondered if people would continue to cut down trees if they bled?.. unfortunately, the answer is yes ⚙️🌿💉 there are several species of trees that produce a crimson sap when they are cut or wounded. This sap coagulates over a wound just as a human or animal's blood would.. One of the main species of trees that exhibits this behavior is the Dracaena cinnabari. Dragon's Blood (medicine, resin, incense and dye) comes from the sap of the Dracaena cinnabari tree 🌳🍃 also known as the Socotra Dragon tree 🐉 this evergreen entity is arguably the most famous and distinctive plant of the island of Socotra, Yemen. An island on the Arabian sea. It has a unique and bizarre appearance. The dark red resin has been highly treasured since ancient times. The dragon’s blood tree has been the major commercial source of this resin, and many myths surround these unusual trees. The demand of dragon's blood has caused a decline in these sacred, ethereal trees.. as much as I adoooooore Dragon's Blood incense, this urges me to discontinue purchasing the incense/ resin 🚫 these trees are losing their life force for pure indulgence.. Just as folks slaughter animals to consume their flesh, they cut down trees to enjoy a particular scent 🆘🆘🆘 this is no way to prolong the vitality of our planet and endemic plant/ animal life.. We must educate ourselves and witness how our ignorant behavior is effecting our Mother. Most of the products we utilize and consume are destructive toward our planet; and we are hardly educated about our rapid decline in resources.. Ignorance is one of the main culprits for this planet and our people's decay. Our behavior is detrimental to our survival. Every species of plant/ animal life that is extinct from the face of the earth due to selfish consumerism and personal gain distorts our planet.. A vital piece of the grand puzzle is forever gone un-organically so.. It is time to take notice of our actions.. For it is the fruitage of our behavior that is creating the future of our world. Awareness is the ke
