I agree! When I broke my finger years ago and had to have surgery, I took the pain killers too and realized I had to get off those ASAP.
I also refused the Antibiotics and had to go to war with some of my family on that.
Peppermint oil does my body good too. I love it. I was also researching recently about wintergreen oil. I didn't realize it can have potential toxicity. Some people have died apparently not knowing it could be so toxic and they ingested too much. Maybe that information I read was overblown, I don't know, but it made me decide to not try it until I can know enough to feel safe with how to use it.
