Wintergreen Essential Oil Information
Wintergreen Essential Oil (Gaultheria fragrantissima) is also commonly known as Tea Berry, Checker Berry, and Box Berry. Wintergreen Essential Oil has a strong sharp, sweet, woody, and slightly minty aroma presenting a top fragrance note.
Wintergreen Essential Oil is included in our Rocky Mountain Oils Pain Relief collection for its ability to soothe minor aches and pains from muscle, tendon, and joint overuse.
Use the oil to boost mental alertness and concentration. The emotion-balancing Wintergreen also promotes a positive self-image while encouraging forgiveness.
The strong fragrance has long been used to stimulate healthy digestion, reducing feeling of bloat in the gut. Refresh your skin with Wintergreen Essential Oil. When properly diluted with your favorite carrier oil, Wintergreen can help cool dry, scaly skin. It works to soothe the scalp and can help improve the appearance of your hair. The natural deodorizer may also aid in reducing body odors.
