Elemi essential oil is one which is a rare and precious essential oil that has been revered for centuries and referred to as the “Poor Man’s Frankincense” because it has some of the same properties and uses of frankincense but cost slightly lesser due to the faster growing rate of Elemi trees as compared to Frankincense.
