Why it's one of Ness’ Faves:

​

“This oil has crept up on me over the years and now it goes into practically every blend I make up for my clients.  I didn't love the smell of Franky, but with all its Super Powers such as anti-anxiety, anti-depressant, anti-inflammatory, I cannot think of anybody in my life who would not benefit from this magnificent oil.  And do you know what, I have grown to love the smell as this is what I diffuse when I meditate, so the association of peace = frankincense = love for me"
