[Everything doTERRA] Re: Wintergreen oil

Hi Rob...Thanks for your reply. I do like to use Wintergreen so I took
your advice and did some more searches. I Googled Wintergreen oil and
Warfrin and there is so much info on contra indications for using
these together even in small doses topically...Confused... Its not
that I am worried so much about myself but I have recommended using it
to quite a few people...Any thoughts on this???

Kathy.
