Thus brand is the best on the American market. I credit this oil with helping me on the road to better health.
I use pure essential oils for mixing into my unscented shower soap and unscented body lotion. I also use oils in a simple manner - open the bottle and quietly have several aromatic sniffs to calm me down. Frankincense is a powerful essence. Sacred. I put a tiny drop on my heart everyday. She is an ancient gift. We are all living in times of stress, and can benefit from the use of natural remedies that our ancestors used. p.s. I live in Berkeley, CA and source most of my essential oils from Source Vital in Houston! It’s because of the quality. This company was founded by a master healer and continues to be producing and performing with the same dignity. Thank you all.
