Wholesalers - Checking them out

I'm currently trying to find some wholesale sellers as I have not heard back yet from the place in India with the high shipping.

I have found one - New Directions Aromatics which has Labdanum 15ml for only $4.95 (undiluted) which is a nice deal (since I have to dilute it anyway and even that would last me).

Hopefully with what I'm looking for, I can get a decent bargain and not just with the oil but the shipping as well.

Good luck with your search! What is Labdanum, by the way?

Thanks.

Labdanum (resin from the Rock Rose plant).

I'd seen that in that Indian wholesaler...but when I was trying to search the Linden Blossom (terribly hard one to find - but I have a steady seller now in the UK that I buy from on eBay)...that I kept coming across all these sites with different names, but were apparently a part of that same company in India. Due to that, I'm avoiding that wholesaler because I get rather leery of seeing the same things sold by the same company under different websites (names) and even for varying prices...too many 'red flags' there.

I don't know too much about that oil though.

Linden blossoms are super easy to pick and dry, presuming there are linden trees where you live, Kapitan_Prien. They grow all over Europe and North America. If you lived in the US, I would recommend a company called Mountain Rose Herbs. Most of their products (herbs, seeds, oils etc.) are organic and reasonable priced.

I ♥ linden blossom tea - it has a calming effect. It is also used against the common cold and helps soothe a sore throat.

Edited to add: Oh, I just saw you mentioning MRH elsewhere so you already know about them. I've bought their linden blossoms and they make a wonderful tea.
