75% bcp

Just got this for the bcp to treat infection and nerve damage from a dog bite, it quickly healed the infection and the nerve damage is slowly improving.
I’d normally use clove for something like this as I prefer the aroma but it was out of stock, it worked just as well and smelled great mixed with rosemary so I’ll get some clove when it’s re stocked and use all three to make a bcp blend for any future mishaps.

Great customer service

Super helpfully team at Neal’s Yard, they responded quickly when the courier returned the order back to them and they resent the order the next day. Oils are great for defusers.

Black pepper oil

It offered a lovely earthy musky scent that paired well with the bay oil.

Warming

One of my favourite oils. It has helped me with all sorts of problems from warming muscles, providing pain relief and being part of my rundown and cold/cough blend.

A great addition

A nice aroma to add to others (like orange or clove) when I want to have a bit of a lift in my diffuser
