Description:

At the end of a long week, is there anything sweeter than the moment your head hits the pillow? Wintergreen may be the perfect antidote to tired days and overworked muscles.

With a minty and somewhat earthy aroma, Wintergreen can bring relief to muscles too tense to relax. It also can be used to soothe aching joints and nerve pain in the legs by promoting a healthy circulatory system. Containing high levels of methyl salicylate, which is comparable to salicylic acid in aspirin, Wintergreen has miraculous analgesic properties.

Used in toothpastes, chewing gum and root beer, Wintergreen yields about .5 percent essential oil. Native to North America, Wintergreen grows up to 6 inches and has deep-green leathery leaves that sprout small white flowers and develop into red fruit. The leaves are put through a steam distillation to extract the essential oil. Wintergreen is incredibly powerful, so only use it with caution in small amounts.
