Re: [Everything doTERRA] Methyl Salicylate in Wintergreen

This happened quite a while back. And she went through a few tubes of this stuff. Massive toxic amounts.

You will notice that deep blue, wintergreen and birch which are all very high in MS constituent have a safety cap. They should be used in moderation and with care. A temptation for relieve to sore muscles might be to apply heavy amounts, this is not needed with the natural stuff. A few drops will be all the power you need. Reapply as needed over time. The safety lids is to keep kids from overdosing.
