It looks like everyone is getting positive experiences from Elemi oil. This is in stark contrast to nutmeg where most people don’t really like it much.

I have yet to read a negative trip report for Elemi oil.

One thing people should take note of is that Elemi oil does vary in potency. Average elemicin content is about 4% I believe, but it varies from 2%-20% or so from what I’ve heard. So you should probably test the waters with each batch you get to see how potent it is before taking a large dose.

It’s no doubt some of us will purchase super potent Elemi oil, while others will get crappy oil. It’s likely that all brands vary. Since it’s pretty much all from the Philippines, it probably doesn’t matter what brand you use. I think they are all pretty much steam distilled in the Philippines and then just locally bottled and labeled with a “BRAND” name. So there’s likely no difference between one brand or the other except the pretty label and price you pay for it. I’m sure you can probably get the best deal if you purchase it in the Philippines.
