Elemi essential oil comes from the same botanical family as Frankincense and Myrrh and has similar properties and benefits—from skin care to aromatic use during prayer or meditation. This is a wonderful oil to add to your collection!

JUST A DROP OF ELEMI…

• A trusty alternative to Frankincense, with a similar grounding and balancing aroma
• Supports a balanced, even complexion
• Helps reduce the appearance of blemishes
• Can be used with massage after exercise to soothe fatigued muscles and joints

BACKGROUND Elemi essential oil comes from the gum resin collected from the elemi tree, a large evergreen species native to the Philippines, and its name comes from an Arabic phrase that means “above and below.” Elemi essential oil offers a woodsy, fresh, incense-like aroma that is great for meditation and grounding.

Elemi has been used traditionally in Europe for the skin. It is highly regarded for reducing the look of fine lines and wrinkles, supporting healthy skin, and for soothing muscles after exercise. It is also wonderful for promoting heart health.
