Seasonal allergies
My husband and I have severe allergic reactions to juniper pollen every year. I have tried several blends that didn’t help all that much. Basil gave us both immediate relief from stuff noses and sinus congestion. It worked instantaneous and lasts a couple hours. I use a few drops with fractionated coconut oil and rub into my throat area as well as inhale several times. Unbelievable difference.

So good for my headaches!!
Basil, lemon and peppermint are a winning combination for my headaches and make my house smell amazing too. It's potent, so you only need one or two drops of this in the diffuser, but the smell is amazing. I am never without this oil, absolutely love it!! I also use it just for inhaling when I feel a migraine or headache coming on and it definitely helps.

Very potent!
This smells delicious but I used a bit too much and it was overpowering. Be careful! These oils are no joke.

Does Rocky Mountain own their own farms? If not where do they source their oil?
Greta L on Jan 27, 2018
BEST ANSWER: Our company seeks out the highest therapeutic quality essential oils to source and sell. We source oils from places all over the world where the plants can grow in their indigenous habitats. We feel that this process best cultivates the plants’ natural therapeutic properties. We do not own our own farms; we choose to work with quality farmers and distillery technicians who are experts in their fields because we are dedicated to obtaining only the purest oils that will meet our strict quality standards.

Is this oil safe for ingestion?
Nelli on Feb 12, 2018
BEST ANSWER: Rocky Mountain Oils feels that essential oils are very potent and can be dangerous if not used correctly. All of our oils are 100% pure, natural, and authentic. They are of the quality to ingest. However, we cannot provide dosing suggestions or directions on how to ingest if you choose to do so. If you do choose to ingest the oils, we suggest consulting an Aromatherapist or trusted health professional for guidance.
