doTERRA – Wintergreen (Nepalese) Essential Oil – 15 mL
Description
Wintergreen essential oil is derived from the leaves of a creeping shrub found
in coniferous areas. The main chemical component in Wintergreen, methyl
salicylate, is used in topical creams and massage blends because of its
soothing properties. In fact, Wintergreen and Birch are the only plants in the
world that contain methyl salicylate naturally. As a flavoring, small amounts
of Wintergreen are used in candies, toothpaste, and chewing gum. When
diffused, Wintergreen has a refreshing aroma thats stimulating. Through
doTERRAs Co-Impact Sourcing initiative, our new source of Wintergreen comes
from Nepal where it is wild harvested by rural villagers then distilled by
community-owned distillation facilities. This process creates increased
economic opportunity for very remote regions in rural Nepal.
Features:
- Great for a warming soothing massage after exercise
- Has a refreshing aroma
- Frequently used in gum, candy, and toothpaste for flavoring
- Wintergreen has a warming effect when applied to skin and is excellent to use as a soothing massage. A little goes a long way, so use sparingly and dilute with Fractionated Coconut Oil to minimize any skin sensitivity
- For a soothing bath, add 12 drops of Wintergreen essential oil to warm bath water.
