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

doTERRA's Frank is indeed harvested from trees in Oman.  I don't know if there is any other oil company that can claim that.  Ours comes from a family owned grove (thank Emily and her contacts for that) and is not offered commercially.   If you tried to research a supplier of Frankincense tears in Oman you will not find it.  It is a privately owned farm from a family that has privately owned the farm for hundreds of years.  The tears are distilled in England I believe, not it Oman.  I know that Young Living does not like that we have that source, and they use the fact that you cannot find a commercial supplier in Oman as fodder for their claims that our Oman source is not real.  It most certainly is real.  I've always felt that Frankincense is kind-of the cornerstone essential oil for doTERRA.  It was one of the first oils we sourced and amazing stories of efficacy and purity immediately came from early users and scientists that tested it.
