## About
Light a candle, close your eyes, and let a scent of lemon and old resin settle over the room. Elemi is reminiscent of lemon, but richer and more balsamic, with a dry-down that is balsamic again and both sweet and spicy.It is steam-distilled from the wild resin of Canarium luzonicum, a relative of the trees that give us frankincense and myrrh. Some authorities recommend it for meditation blends, especially as an aid to visualization, and in Worwood's writing it is linked with calm, compassion and peace.DetailsBotanical name: Canarium luzonicumMethod: steam-distilled from wild resinBlends well with: citrus oils, cinnamon, clove bud, coriander, frankincense, lavender, myrrh and rosemaryShelf life: about 1 to 2 years after openingHow to useAdd it to a meditation blend beside frankincense or myrrh, or brighten it with citrus.
