Her brother Viserys says the same thing in season 1. But Dragon’s Blood is not just a Game of Thrones reference. It is actually an ingredient made from different plants. The substance is more than just a blood of the mythical, flying creature. According to myths and legends, dragon’s blood has been used since ancient times.
Historical records of the Romans and Greeks note Dracaena cinnibari, a byproduct of the cinnabar tree was found on an island in the Indian Ocean. The species of dragon’s blood were hard to distinguish.
It is worth noting that dragon’s blood has also been mentioned as the “actual blood of dragons od elephants who perished in mortal combat”. One such reference is in the book Modern Herbal by Maud Grieve, published in 1931. In the book, he writes
“The berries are the size of a cherry and pointed. When ripe they are covered with a reddish, resinous substance which is separated in several ways, the most satisfactory being by steaming, or by shaking or rubbing in coarse, canvas bags. An inferior kind is obtained by boiling the fruits to obtain a decoction after they have undergone the second process. The product may come to market in beads, joined as if forming a necklace, and covered with leaves … or in small, round sticks about 18 inches long, packed in leaves and strips of cane. Other varieties are found in irregular lumps, or in a reddish powder. They are known as lump, stick, reed, tear, or saucer Dragon’s Blood.”
