I love using wintergreen in aroma therapy!
Love This Wintergreen
I have some serious back issues and adding a few drops of wintergreen to my blend really helps to relieve the pain. It smells so fresh and clean. This is a strong oil so I am glad to be able to find when it expires. Wintergreen is one oil I would really not want to use if it has begun to oxidize.. Most essential oil companies do not give you this information.
The best
I love all the essential oils .. they are very complimentary for the skin, resolving and relieving and balancing. I'd even wish to tell the whole world about the materials you use. they work spot on ..
