that is the 'conventional wisdom'....but it truly varies from oil to

oil...and dropper to dropper.

 

I've found up to 500 drops, and as few as 60 per teaspoon...so drops are

NOT an accurate measure unless you always use the exact same droppers.

 

measuring by volume (mls) is more accurate... most accurate of all is by

weight.

Well, I've tested it on my droppers, so I know it works for me. It does

make sense that different oils and droppers would vary, though.
