[Everything doTERRA] Re: NOW essential oils

I went to the NOW website and it appears they make, at least for
frankincense, 2 grades of oil. The less expensive is, by their own
statements, blended with "other oils" including grapeseed oil. Even
at that the more expensive is relatively cheap. But if you look at
their testing and sourcing criteria it is lacking. For instance they
state, "Our Quality Assurance and Quality Control departments adhere
to specifications used by the Essential Oils and Flavor Industry and
published in The Essential Oils by Guenther, as well as Fenaroli's
Handbook of Flavor Ingredients." They go on to say they do their own
in house testing rather than an independent lab. I would be wary.
