One would think with such high praise that it would be in every single aromatherapy text book, but no. It was Dr Kurt Schnaubelt who pointed out that although there was no essential oils book reference before the 1980's, the oil had been taken to ever aromatherapist's heart and was now generally accepted as one of our most healing oils. Other therapists described it as being the very best essential oil for healing scar tissue, but only if you used the oil distilled from plants sourced from Corsica. All this puzzled me.
