12 Quick Tips for Using Peppermint Essential Oil Daily

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.  Note: peppermint is not for use on open wounds.

How much does it cost to use therapeutic-grade Peppermint oil?

10 cents a drop

There are approx. 250 drops per 15ml bottle

(Note: the cost would be 24% less if you’re a wholesale customer or distributor)

The cost of using superior quality essential oils is priceless!
