Wintergreen Organic Essential Oil

Wintergreen Organic Essential Oil (Gaultheria fragrantissima)

Wintergreen essential oil is a potent, minty oil renowned for its strong analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. Extremely high in methyl salicylate (≈97.4%), it is particularly effective in relieving muscle aches, joint pain, stiffness, and inflammation, making it a key oil in pain-relief and sports massage blends.

Therapeutically, it promotes circulation and provides a warming, soothing effect that helps reduce discomfort and tension in overworked or strained areas. Its action is similar to that of topical salicylates, offering targeted relief for musculoskeletal conditions.

Wintergreen oil also exhibits mild antimicrobial properties and can contribute to cleansing applications. Its refreshing aroma provides a stimulating effect that can help reduce fatigue.

Note: This is a highly potent oil—use only in very low dilutions, avoid use on sensitive skin, and do not use with children, during pregnancy, or in individuals sensitive to salicylates.
