Purify for natural pathogen defense.  Purify helps eliminate airborne pathogens when diffused. You can use it to clean cuts and wounds, or to clean and purify surfaces. It also relieves skin irritation such as insect bites.  Just apply on location. Purify also supports the body's natural defenses, diffuse and inhale.

Frankincense is harvested as a dried sap
before the powerful oil can be extracted 

Frankincense for inflammation and much more!  Frankincense enhances the effects of other oils, it also helps to reduce inflammation (apply topically or take internally), can help relieve headaches (apply with peppermint and lavender), and supports skin tissue recovery.  It can help soothe hyperactivity and restlessness (diffuse and inhale).  Frankincense facilitates clarity and focus of mind.

Terrashield for repelling insects and bugs, deters flying insects and ticks. Diffuse, or apply to skin, apply near windows and door ways. Terrashield also protects pets from ticks and fleas, just apply right on fur.
