Dill Herb Essential Oil
Dill Herb Essential oil is obtained from the leaves (and sometimes stems) of the plant and has a different natural chemistry to Dill Seed Essential Oil mainly in the way of different percentages of the same constituents so therapeutically speaking both have similar uses. Similar to the seed, the herb contains limonene, in this instance at about 38%, carvone, roughly 30% and the other major constituent is alpha-phellandrene accounting for about 15%. More Info >>

Fragonia Essential Oil
I would describe the smell of Fragonia as a cross between Manuka and Tea Tree with a menthol/Eucalyptus tint throughout, not the most pleasant smell but it is a compulsory oil in my opinion for therapists as it boasts such an impressive chemistry. It contains a high percentage of terpin 4 ol, linalool and 1.8 cineol which is the fancy term for eucalyptol. More Info >>
Frankincense CARTERII
Frankincense Essential Oil is very helpful for people with asthma, because of the way in which it slows and deepens the breathing. Massage is the best form of treatment, concentrating on strokes which open the chest, as this area is often constricted in asthmatics. The heat of steam inhalations may have an adverse effect in asthma, so this method should only be used cautiously. More Info >>
Frankincense Neglecta ORGANIC
With Neglecta the GC states it contains a-pinene at 55.61% of the oil. Now this is relevant because when you really inhale this and process the smell you do indeed get a fresh and slightly pine like odour, maybe faint but it is still present, recognisable and helps me distinguish from other species with ease. Thankfully it still has a masculine sticky sweetness about it which also comes through and slowly takes charge and goes on to dominate the aroma. This is sincerely another must have oil for the serious Frankincense connoisseurs. More Info >>
Frankincense Rivae ORGANIC
I personally would describe Rivae as having the classic warm resinous odour you would expect from a vintage Frankincense. However Rivae gives you more, it has very subtle, sweet cinnamon and light soft musky notes running throughout, it is an extremely well rounded oil, possessing no harsh notes at all and would be fully appreciated by any true Frankincense connoisseur. Certified Organic. More Info >>
Frankincense SERRATA
Serrata Frankincense has a very different aroma compared to the popular Carterii, it is very subtle in smell and it has this light lemony sweetness comparable to the smell of homemade lemonade.What is certain is in India, Frankincense Serrata is the chief Frankincense used in Ayurvedic medicine today and due to the biblical references in both the Old & New Testament, is perceived as a deeply spiritual oil, one that enables people to reawaken spiritually and be closer to God.
