Elemi Essential Oil

Elemi's aroma is woody and smoky, like Frankincense, but the oil contains a higher concentration of terpenes, which give it a lighter, more lemony note.  Ancient Egyptians also used Elemi in the embalming process.

It is an excellent oil to burn during meditation.

Directions:

Elemi can be an alternative for Frankincense for its rejuvenating effects on the skin. Try 2 drops of Elemi and 1 drop of Rose blended with 10ml of Evening Primrose or Borage oil.
