There are fields in China covered in ancient fossils, known as " Long Gu (Dragon Bones). These are the fossilized bones of prehistoric animals that roamed there by the thousands, consisting of many different species, The bones were preserved due to the unique make up of the soil combined with the weather and other environmental factors particular to that large location. Over millenia, the bones have fragmented into small pieces, which are now collected and used for traditional medicine.
Energetically, Dragon Bone affects the "Shen" which in Chinese covers the mind/heart and the spirit. Dragon Bone is said to 'anchor the Shen" meaning it keeps it from scattering or racing. In more practical terms, Dragon Bone is believed to calm the mind and center the spirit in a very deep way. Its use may have positive effects on anxiety, strees, insomnia. On a proactive sense, it is used to help keep the mind poised and focused during chaotic circumstances, and may be helpful in preparing for upcoming events or situations that may derail thought and create confusion. It is sometimes described as helping the mind be like a sharp blade, cutting through obstacles and fog.
