Sorry all for the blank post.  I thought about canceling but hit send
intead.
Anyway Stefan, Jadwiga is right about getting oils at the pharmacy.  If they
don't have what you want you can ask if they will get some in for you.  They
used to be able to get me all kinds of oils, and if your phamacist likes you
they will rattle off a list of what is available.
