Wintergreen Essential Oil 10ml

Wintergreen Essential Oil (🔬Gaulteria Fragrantissima)

Wintergreen is extensively used in pain relieving formulas; its chemical makeup is essentially that of liquid aspirin – being made up almost exclusively of methyl salicylate. The salicylates pass through the skin, entering the tissues to inhibit the formation of prostaglandins, thereby reducing inflammation and pain.

The plant has been used for respiratory conditions and is often included in formulas to open the breathing passages, but is mainly employed for joint and muscular pain relief from conditions such as arthritis, lumbago, sciatica, neuralgia, gout and fibromyalgia.

Other applications include as treatment for digestive problems, to enhance metabolic functions, increase circulation as well as promoting detoxification. Its antibacterial properties makes it well suited to treat infections and to help combat colds and flu symptoms.

Safety Information: Wintergreen should NOT be used by people who are allergic to aspirin. Wintergreen should never be ingested and only used topically in dilutions of 12% or less. Care must be taken to always keep the oil away from children.
