Elemi Oil
Supports Healthy Skin
and Balances the Chakras

Elemi oil has traditionally been used to reduce lines and wrinkles associated with aging; and is supportive of healthy skin. Also for soothing muscles discomforts after exercise.

A member of the same botanical family as frankincense and myrrh it is steam distilled from the gum or resin of the tree; and you will recognize the smell, as such, immediately! It is unique oil that is not very common and can be hard to locate in therapeutic quality.

The tree is native to the Philippine and the Moluccas Islands. Europe has used Elemi to rejuvenate skin. Historically it was used as an ingredient in ointments for hundreds of years!

I often times choose Elemi oil over Frankincense. I like the softer feel and smell, especially when doing energy or emotional clearing work.

Also use to soothe muscle discomfort after exercise and in conjunction with massage. It is an ingredient in Ortho Sport Massage Oil.

I designed this section so you could use it as a fun and easy reference guide. It will tell you how to use your oil and what to use it for. It will also provide you with some fun tips and oil trivia!

As I receive new tips they will be added to the page, so check back often!

Elemi oil, as the name implies, brings balance to both the spiritual and emotional planes. It aligns the chakras and relieves stress to all aspects of the body. It is often used for meditation for this reason.

Have your animals smell it directly from the bottle or place a drop or two in your palm, then smell. Or place a drop in your palm and pet head to toe.
