Nice oil for the price.
Started doing aromatherapy mid April. Took two courses at a reputable aromatherapy school. Spend a lot of time reading and learning about essential oils and their uses. While I'm still a novice, I feel that I'm getting more knowledgeable every day. When I originally started to receive essential oils at a discount for an honest review from Amazon, I'd write about &#34;red flags&#34; and information one should know when looking for a company from which to buy oils. At this point, the major companies have started to have a lot of the information on the bottles and in the product descriptions--Latin name, safety information, method of extraction, where the plant material was grown, what it's used for, date of expiration. You no longer have to hunt for it. The only information I couldn't find is what part of the plant is distilled. I know that with all the Frankincense species, it's the gum resin.<br /><br />I belong to several essential oil Facebook groups. Many of these groups rate essential oil companies--cream of the crop, very good and not worth your time or money. Much of the information is determined by the availability of information on the individual oils that can help determine the quality (whether or not they have the chemical constituents they are supposed to have at certain levels.) I buy most of my oils from two companies that are rated &#34;very good.&#34; Have recently treated myself to oils from two of the &#34;cream of the crop&#34; companies. What I've started to do to evaluate some of these less expensive oils is to compare them to the oils from the &#34;very good&#34; companies.<br /><br />There are three species of Boswellia essential oils--carteri, fereana and serrata, all of which own. I have one other Boswellia serrata. It's from one of the &#34;very good&#34; companies. At the time I purchased, they didn't have an organic Boswellia serrata, now they do. For me, I'm not sure that organic makes a big difference. The cold pressed citrus oils are the ones that I've read that you should buy organic. The US Organic Frankincense serrata smells identical to my other Frankincense serrata. I wouldn't hesitate to use this oil for any &#34;safe&#34; purpose--diffusing, appropriately diluted for topical use and in my cosmetics. (I don't ingest oils.)<br /><br />I received this product at a discount for an honest review.
