Point of Interests

Before modern medicine was discovered, human civilization had relied heavily on the natural powers of botanicals for healing and restoration. Archaeological records show that elemi was traded widely in the Mediterranean Middle East and made it as far west as Egypt, where the ancient Egyptians used the oil in embalming mixtures due to its antiseptic properties [1]. 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.
