Wintergreen Essential Oil
Average Product Rating: 5 / 5 (Based on 11 Customer Reviews)
Main Constituents:
Methyl Salicylate:
99.5%
Botanical Name: Gaultheria Procumbens
Plant Part: Leaves
Extraction Method: Steam Distilled
Origin: India
Description: Wintergreen is a small evergreen herb which grows up to 15cm (6 in) high with slender stems, leathery serrated leaves, drooping white flowers followed by fleshy scarlet berries.
Color: Colorless to pale yellow clear liquid.
Common Uses: Wintergreen Essential Oil has a history of use as a pain reliever. It is also believed to increase the speed of healing for skin disorders, and when added to lotions, acts as a natural moisturizer.
Consistency: Thin
Note: Middle
Strength of Aroma: Strong
Blends well with: Ylang-ylang, Peppermint, Marjoram, Lavender, Birch Sweet and Vanilla.
Aromatic Scent: Wintergreen Essential Oil has a strong mint candy flavor.
History: Wintergreen Essential Oil and Sweet Birch Essential Oil are both nearly identical in chemical composition and aroma; similarly, both have been used in traditional folk remedies. This tradition has led to the discovery of Methyl Salicylate, its main ingredient, as a pain reliever. Wintergreen is a traditional native North American remedy, used for aches and pains and to help breathing while hunting or carrying heavy loads.
Cautions: Avoid use if pregnant. Safety in young children, nursing women, or those with severe liver or kidney disease is not known.

This must be what they use in the wax halloween candy. Other people who smelled it said the same. Also reminds me of wintergreen gum. Very nice product, NDA.

This has a wonderful strong, true wintergreen fragrance. I use this EO in a blend for sinus congestion and it adds just the right kick to help open up those nasal passages. Another winner from NDA!

Wonderful oil at a great price. It works wonderfully for pain relief and also helps to take the edge off of the eucalyptus for chest congestion.

This is one oil I cannot be without. Together with Ravensara it makes a wonderful, soothing blend for chest congestion. If you have any joint pain or muscular aches.....wintergreen and peppermint blended with a good carrier oil and massaged in .......will give you immediate relief. This is the best wintergreen I have ever used and at a very fair price.

This is another fantastic NDA essential oil for both quality and price. Its methyl salicylate content makes it the perfect topical analgesic, and the smell is extremely pleasant. (If you're wondering what methyl salicylate is, it is the only anti-inflammatory THAT IS ABSORBED THROUGH THE SKIN. In other words, if you have a muscle that is sore, a soft-tissue injury, even arthritis - you can simply apply wintergreen EO to the affected area and voila! No pills to take, and very fast relief)! I use wintergreen EO in a blend with Japanese Peppermint and Spearmint EOs, and the results are amazing. Clients with a variety of ailments, from fibromyalgia to degenerative disk disease to arthritis have all used this with great results - total pain relief - even when narcotic pain relievers and muscle relaxers have failed to provide the same results. Personally I use it on sports injuries to ligaments and tendons in my leg, with complete relief. NOTE: The combination mentioned is applied undiluted. This WILL cause some stinging/burning/itching when first applied (unless diluted) but these symptoms subside within 15 minutes, and the pain being treated is usually much worse than the minor discomfort caused by the EO application. Wintergreen would also be a pleasant addition to a blend of anti-viral oils used in a humidifier during flu and cold season, sweetening the scent and making a decent expectorant. Also, if you're someone who likes to make homemade incense, potpourri or soaps, you should try adding a little vanilla to your wintergreen oil, as it creates a nice candy cane scent for the holidays.

I only bought a 16oz bottle of this stuff. I should have bought more. I'm just getting started with essential oils, but this is one that I should have bought more of. It is great. I have smelled wintergreen before, but I never realized just how popular it is. I have made a blend for muscle soreness(it smells just like Ben-Gay).

I am happy to recommend Oil of Wintergreeen from this site. It is the best quality oil and half the price of my previous supplier. It has been temporarily out of stock in the past and one day when I was ordering other oils from the New Directions, I was blessed to find that it was available in abundance. I purchased over $500.00 worth at that time so I would have a supply for a time. Today when I checked the site for other matters I noticed that it was out of stock again. I was very grateful that I had purchased the quanity that I did a short time ago. I guess having the supply low and the demand high speaks volumes in itself!

A light top quality aroma! I am very pleased with the overall quality of all the EOs from New Directions and this is no exception! All of my EO's arrived in perfect condition which is saying a lot since I ordered around 50 different EO's and other product! The way everything was packaged was secure and safe! They took a lot of time wrapping the items so nothing would break! I was very impressed with that part of the order process! Thanks ND!
