Ashanti Blood is a striking variety of ixora known for its deep crimson flower clusters that seem almost aflame against the glossy green leaves. In folk healing, ixora species have been used for treating skin issues, stomach problems, and inflammation, though practices differ by region.
Culturally, red ixora flowers are widely used in Hindu rituals, especially in offerings to deities linked with energy and transformation. In some traditions, they’re also placed at doorways and shrines as protective symbols, believed to keep away negative forces while inviting prosperity. The rich color makes them a natural emblem of passion, devotion, and life-force.
