Item# EOELEM010M 100% pure therapeutic grade elemi essential oil from the Philippines. Our elemi essential oil is steam distilled from Canarium luzonicum. It comes in a tamper evident bottle with a euro-dropper top. The name elemi is derived from an Arabic phrase meaning “above and below”, which has spiritual connotations. Our therapeutic grade elemi essential oil is approved by the FDA as a food additive. It’s often used in minute amounts as a flavoring. The scent of elemi is described as a spicy flowery scent. It’s a fresh pleasant scent often described as having spiritually uplifting qualities. Elemicin, a substance also found in nutmeg oil, is partially responsible for the scent and flavor of elemi oil. Unlike nutmeg oil, elemi oil contains no myristicin or safrole, so the scent and flavor is not nearly as spicy. It’s smoother, gentler, and more flowery. When used for aroma purposes, any standard essential oil diffuser can be used. You can even simply place a few drops in front of a fan. When using as a food additive please research the proper amounts used. Essential oils are highly concentrated. While Elemi essential oil is approved by the FDA as a food additive, the normal amount used as a flavoring is usually highly diluted with less than 1 drop per serving. As a dietary supplement, the normal amount used is 1 drop for an adult.
