„The tree secretes a soft white resin called Phillipine elemi, from which is borne out in the air and used as incense.“ http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canarium_luzonicum
„ Aromatic elemi oil is steam distilled from the resin. It is a fragrant resin with a sharp pine and lemon-like scent… Elemi resin is chiefly used commercially in varnishes and lacquers, and certain printing inks. It is used as a herbal medicine to treat bronchitis, catarrh, extreme coughing, mature skin, scars, stress, and wounds.“ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canarium_luzonicum
