Certified Wintergreen Essential Oil

Botanical Name: Gaultheria procumbens
Method of Extraction: steam distilled
Parts Used: Leaves of Plant
Country of Origin: North America, mainly in the Northeastern United States and Canada
Uses:  Wintergreen oil is still used medicinally today, but take note: it is NOT advisable to use the pure (concentrated) essential oil, as it can be very toxic. Instead, you should dilute a very small amount in a safe carrier oil such as coconut oil or olive oil.  Diluted wintergreen oil can be applied topically or diffused via a vaporizer. It’s popularly used for treating or relieving certain health conditions. It’s most renowned as a pain reliever for muscular or skeletal problems. In fact, it is usually added to liniments and topical pain relievers. When used aromatherapeutically (diffused, vaporized or added to a steaming bowl of hot water), wintergreen oil helps relax and uplift your mood. It has powerful, mentally stimulating effects that increase your attentiveness and the vibration of your body. Its strong aroma can also open, influence and elevate the awareness of your senses, particularly your sensory system.
