Wintergreen Wild Authentic EssentialOil

How It Works:

Wintergreen Wild Authentic EssentialOil has a refreshingly minty, woodsy and mildly sweet aroma. It contains methyl salicylate, a naturally occurring compound in the plant that provides soothing properties when used topically.

Botanical Name: Gaultheria procumbens

Origin: Himalayas

 

The Gaultheria procumbens wintergreen plant is a member of the Ericaceae plant family. Native to North America, especially cooler parts of the Northeast United States and Canada, wintergreen trees that produce bright red berries can be found growing freely throughout forests.

Research shows that wintergreen oil has the ability to act like a natural analgesic (pain reducer), antiarthritic, antiseptic and astringent. It primarily contains the active ingredient methyl salicylate, which makes up about 85 percent to 99 percent of this essential oil.

Wintergreen is one of the best sources of this inflammation-fighting compound in the world and believed to be one of only several plants that naturally supply enough to form an extract. Birch essential oil also contains methyl salicylate and therefore has similar tension-reducing benefits and uses.

Additionally, wintergreen also contains antioxidants and beneficial ingredients, including:

• guaiadienes
• a-pinene
• myrcene
• delta 3-carene
• limonene
• delta-cadinene

Ingredients:

100% pure wild-harvested Gaultheria procumbens leaf oil.

Recommended Use:

Wintergreen oil features a child protective cap and should be kept from the reach of children.
