Wintergreen Essential Oil

Feel minty clean with the invigorating, sweet scent of Wintergreen Essential Oil. Also known by the name of its active ingredient, methyl salicylate, Wintergreen oil is a potent source of natural menthol and anti-inflammatory benefits. It helps relieve muscle and joint pain, headaches, menstrual cramps, and other types of pain.

The aroma of Wintergreen is bright and clean, offering a sweet minty fragrance with a faintly vanilla undertone. Diffusing this essential oil helps purify the air while cleansing the energy in your space. It creates a calm, tranquil atmosphere that helps you feel more relaxed and also boosts concentration.

Other Wintergreen essential oil benefits include haircare, skincare, aromatherapy, repelling insects, and home cleaning products. Wintergreen is naturally antiseptic and sanitizing, so adding a dash of this oil will enhance any soap or cleanser. It helps eliminate tough grease stains, odor-causing bacteria, sticky reside from tape or labels, and general grime.

Thanks to the menthol in this oil, Wintergreen can be used as a topical analgesic to soothe injuries and body aches with a gentle cooling, tingling sensation. Try combining Wintergreen essential oil with a carrier oil to make a natural cooling liniment to help your body recover after strenuous exercise or muscle injury.

*Wintergreen is incredibly powerful we recommend using it in small amounts and always dilute with a carrier oil.

• Apply with a carrier oil to the temples and forehead for cooling relief from headaches and sinus congestion.
• Diffuse, inhale, or apply topically with a carrier oil to the upper chest region to support respiratory health and feel relief from illnesses like colds, flu, and bronchitis.
• Use as a natural insect and mosquito repellent by diffusing in outdoor spaces, spraying onto doorways and windowsills, or blending with a carrier oil and applying to exposed skin before going outside.
• Use as a massage oil or add 1-3 drops to a warm bath to soak sore muscles, relieve joint stiffness, and absorb anti-inflammatory benefits.
