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.

Thanks. :smile:

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.
