"Perfect for beginners"

Outdoor run in full sun. She got massive — had to stake the main branches. The cure took 3 weeks and the smell is absolutely incredible. Worth every minute.

"Recommend for chronic pain"

I have fibromyalgia and the full-body relaxation from this is something I haven't found elsewhere. Doesn't eliminate pain but brings it to a manageable level.
