In this post, I explore elemi essential oil, Canarium luzonicum, in detail.
I tend to befriend the underdog essential oils, and elemi oil is no exception.
Elemi essential oil is often overlooked because it is not well-known. Unlike members of its botanical family (Burseraceae), such as frankincense and myrrh, elemi doesn’t get the attention to its benefits it deserves.
In my article, I discuss its impressive pedigree and its unique synergy of a combination of molecules that merge the resinous oils with citrus characteristics (a high content of limonene).
Topics covered include its:
- History
- Characteristics and properties
- Chemical makeup and other main constituents
- The essential oil’s mechanisms of action
- Applications
- Uses
- Safety information
