Description:  Elemi is composed of solid resin and 20-30% of essential oil, so it is much softer than resins of related trees. As such, it appears almost “melted”, but is just exceptionally soft. Elemi resin is pale yellow with a honey-like consistency.

Elemi’s clarifying and energizing scent is citrusy with strong hints of dill, and is soothing and calming. Elemi is sticky and delightfully fragrant. The ancient Egyptians used it in the mummification process.

In the West it has been made into liniments for treating rheumatic pain, burns, and sores. It is antiseptic, fungicidal, and insecticidal. It has been used as an herbal medicine to treat bronchitis, catarrh, extreme coughing, mature skin, scars, stress, and wounds.

This is high quality Elemi from the Philippines. It is soft and white with brown specks in it, perfume grade rather than industrial grade.  It smells fabulous when heated, a combination of fresh citrus and plant resin. If you make your own incense, elemi is great as a binder for a fresh scent.
