About the Plant:
Elemi comes from the resin of the tropical evergreen Elemi tree that can grow to over one hundred feet tall! The colorless to pale yellow, very fluid essential oil is steam-distilled from its resin.
Where it Grows:
Elemi is native to the Philippine Islands and the Moluccas (a group of islands in Indonesia), where it is also cultivated. Amrita® Aromatherapy is proud to receive Elemi Essential Oil from France.
Traditional Lore:
The Arabic meaning for Elemi means “above and below” referring to its spiritual undertones. Ancient Turks and Arabs used elemi in incense and the Egyptians used it for embalming, due to its antiseptic properties.
In the 15th-century, Europeans used Elemi Gum for boosting the immune system, soothing respiratory conditions, stomach aches, and lessening fatigue. Elemi was also used to heal soldiers' broken bones more quickly and painlessly.
