Elemi
The gum of Canarium luzonicum is steam distilled to create an essential oil that’s fresh, citrusy, and spicy. Elemi is a middle note oil that blends well with Cinnamon, Frankincense, Lavender, Myrrh, Rosemary, Sage, and spice oils (like Black Pepper and Coriander).
Want soft and supple skin? Elemi keeps skin moisturized and is particularly beneficial to people with drier skin. Try this massage oil recipe to help nourish skin. Topically, Elemi can also help reduce the appearance of acne and scarring. This oil not only soothes skin, but the mind too. Use in a diffuser with Lavender to help alleviate stress and promote restful slumber. This application, as well as homemade chest rub, can help open the passageways and promote breathing.
