Good medicine
Excellent quality, generous quantity, fast delivery. I dissolve this in olive oil (1:2) to take internally for chronic back pain (3mL, daily). To my surprise, it was not only effective for reducing back pain, but it has nearly alleviated my ankle pain that I've had for several years! Dissolving the resin extract in a food-grade oil is a nice alternative for anyone that has trouble swallowing powdered frankincense.
On a side note, I want to express my gratitude to Dan for his expertise and generosity. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Thank you, Dan.

Fabulous seeds
Thanks so much for these - I have been putting together a ‘perfume garden’ but these seeds were on my wish list for so long and were so hard to come by I had nearly given up hope. These have germinated after soaking and stratification. Could not be more pleased.

Frankincense Rivae Hydrosol
We use frankincense hydrosol for many things, not the least of which is healing mouth abrasions. Rivae is new to us as it's usually sold out! We haven't used it yet, we have to finish the one that's open now!

Frankincense Rose Serum
I love this serum and have added it to my skincare lineup. It absorbs very quickly, which is a plus for me, and I am increasingly appreciating the synergy of frankincense and myrrh at all levels. The scent is lovely, too. I will add this to the long list of products I love from Apothecary's Garden.

Fresh and resinous
Great myrrh, nice color and definitely fresh. Smells divine, will absolutely be ordering more.

Captures the full spectrum of Galbanum
My search has long ended for a great galbanum. This is it, this is the full spectrum.
I've tried commercial offerings and fell flat, resinoid is too hard to work with and frankly isn't worth it unless you're using 1/1000g.
This is a fruity galbanum with harami like nuances imo. It has the signature green smell and slightly leafy aspects. Once you buy it, you shall understand why I'm so hyped about this material :)

Great deal on Great Propolis
This propolis has a lot of qualities similar to Poplar bud, but more mobile due to tincture form and doesn't have a very heavy fixating effect to compete! It has potential to combine with Black Currant, Davana, Osmanthus, and sweeten it up more with a vanilla amber base. It's really good! You can also buy the propolis yourself and tincture, but this is great to have for an immediate effect.

Very clean and smooth burn
This is unlike the stuff you get in charcoal discs, this is a very clean burn without the chemical smell. Good job sourcing a great charcoal!

Beautiful earthy shavings
Burns like magic, it is nothing like cedarwood. It is so comfortable, almost like the Patchouli version of Woods. There a bit of Archaism in its scent. Takes me to a different time when there wasn't so much going on. A form of longing almost..

Light Pleasant Scent
Nice light scent greets you as you open the closet door. Not the overpowering cedar scent from other products.

How to make a Frankincense Resin Extract with Boswellic acids
The resin portion of Frankincense contains very valuable therapeutic compounds called Boswellic acids. You won't find them in the water-soluble gum, and you will not find them in the essential oil of Frankincense. We cannot use these resin acids to their fullest extent until we liberate the resin from the gum portion.
