Elemi


Elemi (Canarium luzonicum) is distilled from the gum of a tree originating in the Philippines. It has been used in Europe for hundreds of years in salves for skin and is included in celebrated healing ointments such as baume parlytique. Elemi was used by a 17th-century physician, J. J. Wecker, on the battle wounds of soldiers. It belongs to the same botanical family (Burseraceae) as frankincense (Boswellia carteri) and myrrh (Commiphor myrrha). Elemi is highly regarded today for soothing muscles sore from exercise, protecting skin, and stimulating nerves.

How to Use:
Apply topically or diffuse. May be added to food or soy or rice milk as a dietary supplement.
