Therapeutic-grade peppermint essential oil is an amazing oil to have on hand, it’s one of my favorites for daily use and for my natural First Aid kit. Young Living’s peppermint essential oil is powerful; just ‘one’ single drop is said to be equivalent to 28 cups of peppermint tea! So, use it sparingly, there are about 250 drops per 15 ml bottle; you’re going to get lots of use from this one small bottle. If you’re interested in saving 24% on all of your Young Living purchases learn how to buy at wholesale. Note: peppermint is not for use on open wounds.
