ESSENTIAL OIL
WINTERGREEN
Gaultheria Fragrantissima Wall
Price: 350.000 VNĐ
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 that’s uplifting and stimulating. 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.
NOTE CLASSIFICATION: Top.
HOW TO USE
Aromatic: Diffuse up to 10 minutes 3 times daily. 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 any oil to minimize any skin sensitivity. Test on small area of skin on the underside of arm and apply to desired area as needed. For a soothing bath, add 1–2 drops of Wintergreen essential oil to warm bath water.
BLENDS WELL WITH: Bergamot, Basil, Cypress, Geranium, Lavender, Lemongrass, Marjoram and Peppermint.
