[Everything doTERRA] Re: Confused about Frankincense and Boswellic Acid

I also found out that Frereana is found cultivated in Yemen

http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/taxon.pl?310552

It is said to be from Yemen and Oman,
http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/75002/Boswellia-frereana

Wikipedia which does not cite any sources (though I do have a clue as
to who spread the propraganda the Frereana ONLY grows in Somalia) I
may change it so that people are not misled.

Doing research online, finding sources like encyclopedia britanica and
US Department of agriculture, has soldified my faith in Doterra. It
goes to show how some people in the EO industry play. I'm glad to see
that Doterra conducts busines with integrity.
