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

I would like to suggest anyone with any questions about frankincense
watch the webinar from 11/30/10 on builddoterra.com. Because of the
questions here today I went back and watched it again and it answers a
lot of these questions. Dr. Hill explains where each of the different
frankincenses come from and the differences between them. I learned a
lot! Karen
