About this product
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.
Details
- Botanical name: Canarium luzonicum
- Method: steam-distilled from wild resin
- Blends well with: citrus oils, cinnamon, clove bud, coriander, frankincense, lavender, myrrh and rosemary
- Shelf life: about 1 to 2 years after opening
How to use
Add it to a meditation blend beside frankincense or myrrh, or brighten it with citrus. Store it in the dark, refrigerated if you can, and decant half-full bottles into smaller, full ones to extend its shelf life.
For the quiet minutes before the day begins, a bottle of soft resin and light.
